Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prep Work
    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Ingredients
    In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, sugar, egg whites, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Shape Macaroons
    Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form small mounds of the coconut mixture on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  4. Bake
    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  5. Cool and Enjoy
    Allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Optional: Once cooled, drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra touch of sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I make these macaroons vegan?

Yes, you can make these macaroons vegan by substituting the egg whites with aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas). Use 3 tablespoons of aquafaba for each egg white.

How can I prevent my macaroons from spreading too much?

Ensure your coconut mixture is tightly packed when forming the macaroons. If the mixture is too loose, it may spread during baking. Chilling the shaped macaroons for about 10 minutes before baking can also help maintain their shape.
