Ingredients
3 cups sweetened (shredded coconut)
4 large egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
Spread the coconut on the baking sheet and toast for about 5 minutes, or until just barely starting to show some colour. Let cool slightly before using.
Combine the egg whites, sugar, vanilla and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk until the whites and sugar are completely combined and the mixture is frothy.
Pour the coconut over the egg-white mixture and stir until the coconut is evenly moistened.
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Shape the coconut mixture into a small ball and press down into the centre to create a nest shape. Shape them an inch or so apart on the baking sheet.
Bake the macaroons until golden, 15-20 minutes.
Cool the macaroons. Let the macaroons cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
