Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine sugar, coconut, egg whites, vanilla, and salt. Use your hands to mix well, completely combining ingredients.
  • Dampen hands with cold water. Form 1/2 tablespoons of mixture into a loose haystack shape, and place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture, placing macaroons about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven to a wire rack, and let macaroons cool slightly on baking sheet. These are best served warm from the oven, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

These macaroons are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These macaroons are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of milk or butter next time.

I had a hard time finding unsweetened coconut flakes. I ended up using sweetened flakes and the macaroons turned out a bit too sweet.
