Magic Coconut Macaroon Meringue Cookies
These cookies are light, airy, sweet, and irresistible! The delicate, crisp, snow-like meringue melts instantly on the first bite, leaving only the chewy coconutty center.
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg Whites
- 1/8 tsp Table Salt
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 1/3 cups Shredded Coconut Flake (sweetened)
Instructions
- Beat 2 large Egg Whites, add 1/8 tsp Table Salt, and 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract then using a mixer, blend on medium-high speed until you form soft peaks.
- Gradually add 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar and continue to beat until your mixture forms stiff peaks. (You should be able to turn the beater right-side-up and the meringue will stand firm.) Once you've reached stiff peaks, gently fold 1 1/3 cups Shredded Coconut Flake into your meringue mixture.
- Drop spoonfuls of the coconut meringue onto a greased or parchment-lined pan, and space them about two inches apart.
- Bake at 325℉ (165℃) until the edges are light brown and begin to crisp. (About 15-20 minutes) The baking time will depend on your oven.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack, then serve, and enjoy!
