Instructions

Preheat the oven to 340°F/ 170°C. Line the baking sheets with parchment paper.
Beat the egg whites: Place the egg whites in a very clean bowl. The bowl and the beaters of the mixer should be absolutely fat-free. Beat the egg whites very well until soft peaks form.2 large egg whites
Sugar: Slowly start adding the granulated sugar while beating continuously. Continue mixing until the egg white mixture is shiny and stiff. Add vanilla if using.¾ cup granulated sugar + ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Add the desiccated coconut and fold it in carefully using a plastic spatula. Please do not overdo it; only fold gently until the coconut is incorporated.2 cups unsweetened desiccated coconut
Shape: Take small amounts of the mixture using a teaspoon and place them on the prepared tray. Use the free hand and another teaspoon to shape the macaroons into balls gently.
Bake the coconut macaroons for about 10 minutes or until only very lightly colored. Let it rest on the baking tray for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer it to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Baking sheet: Work in batches; not all the macaroons will fit on one tray.
Egg whites: Fresh egg whites left over from baking something else or frozen and defrosted ones.
One large egg white weighs about 1 oz/ 30 g. Halve or double the batch. Simply calculate the proportions based on the number of egg whites you're using, maintaining the ratio of ingredients for the desired consistency and sweetness in the mixture.
Unsweetened desiccated coconut: Ensure the coconut is unsweetened, the recipe contains a lot of sugar, and the cookies are very sweet. Desiccated coconut is not the same as shredded coconut. The desiccated kind is finer cut and a bit dryer.
