Ingredients
Method
- Preheat Oven:
- Set oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Mix Coconut Base:
- In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. Stir until fully coated.
- Whip Egg Whites:
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Fold Together:
- Gently fold whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture.
- Shape Biscuits:
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the baking sheet, forming small mounds or biscuit shapes.
- Bake:
- Bake 16–18 minutes until edges are golden brown. Let cool completely on the tray.
- Optional Chocolate Dip:
- Melt dark chocolate and dip the bottoms of cooled macaroons, or drizzle chocolate on top. Place back on parchment to set.
Notes
Chewier Texture: Use sweetened shredded coconut for extra chew and sweetness.
Crispier Edges: Bake an extra 2–3 minutes for more golden crunch.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 5 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
Flavor Twist: Add almond extract instead of vanilla, or mix in chopped dried fruit for variety.
