Macaroons

Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Beat egg whites and salt together in a small glass, metal, or ceramic bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating at high speed until stiff peaks form; continue to beat until glossy. Fold coconut into egg white mixture.
  3. Drop teaspoonfuls of egg white-coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake in preheated oven until edges are light golden, about 12 minutes.
