These macaroons are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few extra egg whites in the fridge and these are the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these macaroons. The coconut flavor is very subtle and it pairs perfectly with the almonds.
