How to Make Light Coconut Macaroons

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded coconut, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 large egg white. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  3. If using, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each macaroon.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded coconut evenly over the tops of the macaroons.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the macaroons are set.
  7. Let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheet before gently transferring them to a wire rack to cool further. Enjoy!
