Ingredients

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 4 3/4 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl or electric mixer, beat or whisk egg whites, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix on a medium-high speed until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is light and foamy. You don't want to whip it to stiff peaks, just until it is foamy.
  2. Fold in coconut until evenly blended.
  3. Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of the coconut mixture with a spoon or cookie scoop onto prepared baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Place cookies about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Topping Variation:
  • *You can choose to melt your chocolate and/or caramel in a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl in your microwave. 
  • Store in airtight container for 3 days at room temperature, or 5 days in the refrigerator.
  • Drizzle the macaroon in chocolate, or try dipping the bottom in chocolate instead.
  • Drizzle melted caramel on the little mounds for a different flavor. 
  • Mix it up! Drizzle both melted caramel and chocolate for layers of flavor explosion! 
  • Store in airtight container for 3 days at room temperature, or 5 days in the refrigerator.
