Coconut Macaroons Recipe

French · Dessert · 25 min total

These classic coconut macaroons are chewy on the inside with a golden, crispy exterior, made with just a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients

• 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
• 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large egg whites
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract; mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and salt with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until just combined.
5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon almond extract along with the vanilla.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
• If desired, dip the bottoms in melted chocolate for a decadent touch.
