Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350” F
  • Place the coconut on a baking sheet and spread it evenly. Toast it in the preheated oven for a few minutes taking good care not to burn it. About 3 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • In the bowl of your mixer add the egg whites, vanilla, sugar and sea salt. Using the whisk attachment make sure to whisk until frothy and everything is combined well.
  • Add the toasted coconut to the frothy egg whites and using a spatula FOLD until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • At this point you can use a spoon or your hands to form the macaroons into 24 golf ball size balls. You can also use a pastry bag with a wide cake decorating tip if you prefer a little more design to your macaroons.
  • Place them on the parchment lined baking sheet an inch apart from each other.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden to your liking. Check after 15 minutes then give it a few more if you like them darker.
