Looking for a sweet and chewy dessert that’s easy to make? Look no further than these delicious coconut macaroons! With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these tasty treats in no time.
Ingredients:
- 2 2/3 cups shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sugar, and salt.
- Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the bowl and stir until well combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove the macaroons from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Once the macaroons are cool, use a spatula to gently remove them from the parchment paper and transfer them to a serving platter or container.
Tips:
- For an extra decadent treat, dip the cooled macaroons into melted chocolate and allow them to set before serving.
- If you prefer your macaroons to be a bit more crispy and crunchy, bake them for a few minutes longer than the suggested time.
- Store leftover macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
