5. #### **Ingredients:**
7. - 1 cup (200g) unsweetened shredded coconut
8. - 1/2 cup (50g) granulated sugar
9. - 3 egg whites, at room temperature
11. #### **Instructions:**
13. 1. **Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:**
14. - Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
15. - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
17. 2. **Combine Coconut and Sugar:**
18. - In a large bowl, mix the shredded coconut and sugar until well combined.
19. - This mixture will form the base of your macaroons.
21. 3. **Beat Egg Whites:**
22. - In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed with an electric mixer until frothy.
23. - Gradually increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
24. - Stiff peaks indicate that the mixture has become firm and holds its shape when you lift the beater.
26. 4. **Fold in Coconut Mixture:**
27. - Gently fold one-third of the coconut mixture into the egg whites to lighten them without deflating too much.
28. - Then, gently fold in the remaining coconut mixture until just combined.
29. - Be careful not to overmix as this can cause the macaroons to be tough.
31. 5. **Shape Macaroons:**
32. - Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, shape the dough into balls about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter.
33. - Place them on the prepared baking sheet with at least an inch of space between each one.
35. 6. **Bake and Cool:**
36. - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
37. - Allow macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
39. 7. **Storage:**
40. - Store coconut macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze them for longer storage.
42. #### **Tips and Variations:**
44. - To enhance the flavor, you can sprinkle a few pinches of sea salt on top before baking.
45. - Experiment with adding a bit of vanilla extract or almond extract for an extra layer of taste.
46. - For a festive touch, use food coloring to dye some of your macaroons.
