Description
Delicious coconut macaroons that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg white
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg white with a spoon until evenly moist and compact. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes so the coconut absorbs the egg white.
- Take small amounts of the mixture and close your hand around it to form small balls, pressing gently to compact. You should get about 12–16 balls. If the balls don’t hold together, stir in a little more egg white, about half at a time.
- Place the balls on the baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly golden on top and underneath.
- Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before serving. They will set as they cool and stay tender inside.
Notes
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little more egg white.
- Ensure not to overmix to avoid spreading.
