Equipment

  • Bowl
  • 2 Sheet Pans
  • Parchment Paper or Slicone Baking Matt
  • Ice Cream Scoop
  • Electric Stand Mixer
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 2.5 Cup Sweetened coconut
  • 2 Egg whites Room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 Can Sweetened condensed milk
  • Food coloring Optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Add the sweetened coconut & condensed milk to the bowl. At this point, you can add any food coloring you want to change the color. Mix it well until it is all incorporated.
  • Now add the salt and vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Put your egg whites in the stand mixer with the whisk attachment and beat on high for 6-8 minutes until they fluff up.
  • Fold the egg whites into the bowl with the other ingredients. If you do not know how to fold refer to the video in this post.
  • Once everything is nicely combined use your ice cream scoop to scoop out the macaroon onto 2 baking sheets that are lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Make sure they are 2 inches or so apart. This should make 16 in total.
  • Cook in a 325-degree oven for 18-22 minutes. Check them at 18 and if they are begining to brown on the edges and top they should be done.
