Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 200 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt together until stiff peaks form. This step helps give the macaroons a light, airy texture.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites as you mix.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops and edges of the macaroons are golden brown.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the macaroons in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
