These super simple coconut macaroons are perfectly chewy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and downright delicious!
Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 14 ounces sweetened, shredded coconut
Preparation
Heat oven to 325°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together egg whites, vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 2–3 minutes.
While still mixing, slowly add sugar until it's dissolved and stiff peaks form, 1–2 minutes. Turn off mixer and fold in coconut by hand until evenly combined.
Use an ice cream scoop to drop batter on baking sheets, leaving 1 inch between each macaroon. Bake until golden brown, 25–30 minutes, then let cool completely.
