Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) for even baking.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whip the 4 large egg whites until frothy and soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes).
- Step 3: Add the 2 tablespoons of granulated sweetener to the whipped egg whites and mix until glossy.
- Step 4: Gently fold in the 2 cups of shredded unsweetened coconut with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Step 5: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion the mixture onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them an inch apart.
- Step 6: Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on the edges, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Step 7: Let the macaroons cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze them for longer storage; they'll last up to 3 months.
- Add vanilla extract for extra flavor or cocoa powder for chocolate macaroons.
