Coconut Macaroons Ingredients

• 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 4 large egg whites
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions 

1. Whisk the egg whites with the sugar, vanilla/almond extract and salt until they are frothy (if you have an electric mixer this will be the fastest way to do this instead of a hand held whisk).
2. Stir the coconut into the egg white mixture. (For extra flavor if you like you can also toast the coconut on a baking sheet for 1 minute until slightly browned before adding to the egg mixture).
3. With wet hands (to prevent sticking) form small 1.5 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes until slightly browned.
5. Enjoy fresh or from the freezer and try different variations for coconut macaroons by adding dried fruit, chopped nuts, chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate on top once they are cooled.
