• servings: 20 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

5 ounces shredded unsweetened coconut (about 2 ½ cups)

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

3 large egg whites

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or reusable liner.

In a bowl, mix together the coconut, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly mixed.

Mix in the egg whites and vanilla. Stir until completely mixed, with no dry bits remaining.

Using a cookie scoop or damp hands, form mixture into mounds of about 1 1/2 tablespoons and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 15-18 minutes. Let cool on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Macaroons will dry and crisp further as they cool.
