2/3 cup sugar
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
1/2 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3 cups (about 8 ounces) finely shredded unsweetened coconut
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients, especially the coconut and cranberries. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the macaroons.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the macaroons tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the macaroons hold their shape in the oven.
  • Bake the macaroons until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape.
