Coconut Macaroons
Makes about 2 dozen
Time: About 45 minutes, plus time to chill.
| 3/4 cup sugar |
| 2 1/2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut |
| 2 egg whites |
| 1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
| pinch salt |
| Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well with a rubber spatula or your hands. |
| Use a non-stick baking sheet, or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wet your hands and make small piles of the mixture, each 1 to 2 tablespoons, about an inch apart. |
| Bake until light brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet and cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before eating. These keep well in a covered container for up to 3 days. |
