A coconut macaroon is a sweet, chewy cookie made mainly from shredded coconut, egg whites, and sugar 🥥🍪 (not to be confused with French macarons).
What it’s like
- Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside
- Rich coconut flavor
- Often dipped or drizzled with chocolate
Basic ingredients
- Sweetened shredded coconut
- Egg whites
- Sugar (or sweetened condensed milk, in some recipes)
- Vanilla extract (optional)
How they’re usually made
- Mix coconut with the sweetener and egg whites.
- Scoop small mounds onto a baking sheet.
- Bake until lightly golden on the edges.
They’re simple, naturally gluten-free, and great for holidays or anytime you want a quick dessert.
If you want, I can share a super easy coconut macaroon recipe (only 3–4 ingredients!).
