How to Make Traditional Coconut Macaroon

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add vanilla extract, then powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Gently fold in the shredded coconut, about a cup at a time, until evenly distributed.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each macaroon.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Garnish with cinnamon, if desired.
