Ina Garten's Coconut Macaroons
SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Cookies Brownies Bars
INSTRUCTIONS
These are delicious and couldn't be easier! I drizzle them with melted chocolate to finish.
14 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 extra-large egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine the coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whip the egg whites and salt on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until they make medium-firm peaks. Carefully fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture.
Drop the batter onto sheet pans lined with parchment paper using either a 1 3/4-inch diameter ice cream scoop, or two teaspoons.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and serve.
