Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 200 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut with the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir until fully incorporated.
In a separate clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites with the salt until stiff peaks form. This can be done with an electric mixer or by hand with a whisk.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites while mixing.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Space them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the macaroons are slightly golden on the edges and firm to the touch.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
