Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 cups (90 grams) sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup (66 grams) granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • pinch salt
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (90 grams) multicolored jimmies oblong sprinkles

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the coconut, sugar, flour, and salt. Add the egg whites, vanilla, and sprinkles, then mix very well until thoroughly coated.
  3. Form into 2-teaspoon size mounds onto the prepared pan, pressing down slightly to adhere. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. Cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack to cool completely. Serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Notes

– For the chewiest coconut macaroons, ensure your egg whites are thoroughly mixed into the coconut mixture until every shred is coated. This helps bind them perfectly.
– If you find your macaroons spreading too much, try chilling the mixture for 15-20 minutes before forming. This can help them hold their shape better during baking.
– Storage: Store baked coconut macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature.
