Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 200 milliliters Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 pinch Salt
- 100 grams Chocolate (optional for drizzling or dipping, melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly combined.
In a separate clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture in two additions, being careful not to overmix or deflate the egg whites.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are lightly toasted.
Allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, drizzle or dip the cooled macaroons with melted chocolate for an extra indulgent touch. Let the chocolate set before serving or storing.
Enjoy your Quick and Easy Coconut Macaroons or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
