How to Make Golden Coconut Macaroons
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place 4 cups (16 oz) sweetened shredded coconut in a food processor and pulse 6-8 times to roughly chop (do not over-process).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, whisking constantly until well combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gently fold in the chopped coconut until evenly distributed.
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes (1 hour recommended if using only 2 eggs).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each macaroon.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still slightly soft.
- Let the macaroons cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container between layers of wax paper for up to 3 days.
