Instructions

1

Mix the Batter

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl stir together the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt until the coconut is evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.

2

Scoop and Shape

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into mounds on the prepared baking sheet spacing them about 1 inch apart. Press and shape each mound firmly so it holds its form during baking.

3

Bake Until Golden

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the tops and edges are deep golden brown. Allow the macaroons to cool completely on the pan before removing them as they will firm up and become easier to handle once cooled.

Substitutions

vanilla extractalmond extract for a slightly different nutty aromatic flavor profile

Common mistakes

Not packing the macaroons firmly enough before baking which causes them to fall apart and crumble when you try to pick them up after baking
Removing the macaroons from the pan while still hot which causes them to stick and break since they need to cool completely to set their shape
