Simple Coconut Macaroon Recipe

These Simple Coconut Macaroons are simple to make and full of coconut flavor. They have a crunchy outside and a soft, chewy inside.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups shredded coconut
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt

Mix well until the mixture is evenly combined

In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form

Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat, until glossy stiff peaks form

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until everything is well mixed

Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the tops and edges of the macaroons are golden brown

Remove from the oven and let the macaroons cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

Once cooled, you can drizzle melted chocolate over the macaroons, if desired
