Description
Delightful and sweet coconut macaroons that are quick, simple, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 2/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl, stirring until well-mixed and creamy.
- Whisk the egg whites and salt in another bowl until soft peaks form, light and fluffy like clouds.
- Fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture until just combined—be careful, we want those soft peaks to stay airy!
- Drop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet using a tablespoon, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown.
- Allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to fully cool.
Notes
These macaroons can be prepped in advance and stored in an airtight container. Try adding lime zest or nuts for a twist!
