Chewy and Delicious Coconut Macaroons
Coconut macaroons are a delightful treat that combines the tropical flavor of coconut with the sweetness of condensed milk, all bundled into a chewy, bite-sized confection.
Ingredients
- 3 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This may take a few minutes, and using an electric mixer can help speed up the process.
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Carefully fold in the shredded coconut, ensuring it's evenly coated with the egg white mixture. Be gentle to avoid deflating the egg whites.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the macaroons turn golden brown on the edges. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep a close eye on them.
- Allow the coconut macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, your Chewy and Delicious Coconut Macaroons are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
