Coconut Macaroons

We love serving coconut macaroons as an afternoon snack and during family gatherings. It's the perfect alternative to chocolate chip cookies.

Ingredients:
  • 14 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 325ยบ.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla. In an electric mixer, whip egg whites and salt on high speed until you see foam peaks. Add the egg whites to the coconut mixture.
  3. Drop batter on to baking sheet using an ice cream scoop. Bake until golden brown which is about 30 minutes.
