Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 large egg whites at room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until fully combined.
  5. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
