Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl mix shredded coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture.
- Scoop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 16–18 minutes until the tops turn golden brown.
- Allow macaroons to cool completely on a rack.
- Dip the bottoms in melted chocolate if desired and let them set.
Notes
- Use sweetened shredded coconut for the best texture and flavor.
- Do not overbake, or the macaroons may become dry.
- Store macaroons in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Chocolate dipping is optional but highly recommended for extra indulgence.
