Steps:

- Allow the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes.

Tips:
- Use unsweetened shredded coconut: Sweetened coconut will make your macaroons too sweet.
- Toast the coconut before using it: This will bring out its flavor and make it more fragrant.
- Use a combination of egg whites and granulated sugar: This will help the macaroons to rise and hold their shape.
- Beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks: This will help the macaroons to be light and airy.
- Fold in the coconut and sugar mixture gently: Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make the macaroons tough.
- Bake the macaroons at a low temperature: This will help them to dry out without browning too much.
- Let the macaroons cool completely before serving: This will help them to set and firm up.

Gluten-free coconut macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect gluten-free coconut macaroons every time.
