Coconut Macaroons

Ingredients for 20 macaroons
3 egg whites
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
5 cups of sweet shredded coconut

Preparation
Preheat oven to 325°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a bowl, mix together the egg whites, sugar, vanilla and salt until foamy and the sugar completely dissolves.

Add the coconut and fold with a spatula, stirring until evenly combined.

To make the macaroons, you can use an ice cream scoop or put the mixture into a pastry sleeve with a thick nozzle, dropping the batter 1 inch apart in the baking sheet.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the sheets in the oven until golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool completely.


These macaroons can be kept in a covered container for up to five days.
