Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup maple syrup real
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch optional, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 4 egg large, whites
  • 3 cups medium shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and light grease the paper. Set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan heat maple syrup on high until it reaches a boil, then reduce heat simmering syrup until the syrup begins to thicken (12-15 minutes). Watch carefully so it doesn't burn. If you find that the consistency isn't changing you can add cornstarch and water to thicken. When thickened, remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature (may take up to an hour).
  3. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold cooled maple syrup mixture into the egg whites, and then fold in coconut.
  4. With a small cookie scoop, drop batter onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until light brown. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes. Loosen macaroons with spatula and cool completely on baking racks.
