Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cups Coconut sugar (or granulated sweetener of choice)
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Coconut oil (optional, for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment with a small amount of coconut oil if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and coconut sugar. Stir well to evenly distribute the sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a fork until they become frothy but not stiff. Add the vanilla extract and salt, then whisk again to combine.
Pour the egg white mixture into the bowl with the shredded coconut. Mix thoroughly until all the coconut is evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed between your fingers.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out small mounds of the mixture, packing them tightly to form firm balls or mounds. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown on the tops and edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
