Coconut Macaroons

I really love chewy coconut macaroons! They're obviously easy coconut cookies you can make in the kitchen, whenever you feel like to taste a sweet and supreme coconut flavour dessert at anytime.

You really don't have to do or need lots of things to make those easy coconut macaroons, actually. You only need some shredded coconut, egg whites and sugar along with vanilla extract or other flavouring. That's all!

It's just an easy coconut macaroons recipe if you want to make simple and delightful plain coconut macaroons that are easily can be shaped into round balls, small pyramids or any other different shapes as you like.

One lovely thing is you also can dress them up by dipping them into some melted chocolate or milk before serving!

So now, how to make coconut macaroons? First, here are things you need before you can make those easy coconut cookies...

3 cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)

2 large egg whites

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Next, you'll have to do these few things for sure...

Preheat oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Spread your shredded coconut on a cutting board and coarsely chop it with a knife to break up the larger shreds of coconut.

In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites, sugar and vanilla until well blended. Add in shredded coconut and stir with a spatula until well moistened.

Place level 1/4 cup scoops of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Pack the macaroons together with your fingers (forming the mix into pyramid shapes).

Bake for about 20 minutes, until macaroons are golden brown around the edges (time will vary slightly by size of the cookies). Cool completely on a wire rack.
