Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Whip Egg Whites

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.

  4. 4

    Fold Mixture

    Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.

  5. 5

    Shape Macaroons

    Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to drop rounded mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

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