Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 397 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 pieces Large egg whites
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly combined.
In a clean medium-sized bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment to beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy.
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture using a spatula. Be gentle to preserve as much air as possible in the egg whites.
Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop mounds of the mixture (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets. Space them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops and edges are golden brown.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
