Coconut Macaroons
14 ounce bag of sweetened flaked coconut
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Preheat oven - 325˚ F.
- In large bowl, combine coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites and salt on high speed until they have formed medium-firm peaks.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the bowl with the coconut.
- Use a small ice cream scoop and drop the batter onto parchment lined cookie sheets. (I usually just kind of eye this part and mound some of the batter on a spoon before dropping on the cookie sheet)
- Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool cookies on wire rack.
This is what they look like before they go in the oven.
After: oh yeah...nice and brown and gooey and chewy!
Check out the carmelization, it definitely gives this cookie a crispy/chewy candy quality.
Sometimes I like to drizzle some chocolate over them, but it's totally not necessary. These cookies can stand alone without any extra embellishments.
Enjoy!
