Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 14 oz sweetened shredded coconut Use sweetened for best results.
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • optional chocolate chips or melted chocolate for drizzling For extra indulgence.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, salt, and egg whites. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the mixture into small mounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave some space between each mound, as they will spread slightly during baking.
  4. Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
  5. Once baked, remove the macaroons from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. If you prefer, drizzle melted chocolate on top.

Notes

For best results, do not overmix the ingredients. Adjust baking time according to your oven and store leftovers in an airtight container.
