The best coconut macaroon recipe is soft and chewy on the inside and crisp and golden on the outside. These gluten-free cookies are low in sugar and simple, quick, and easy to make!
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except coconut. Whip with a mixer until thick and frothy. Fold coconut into the egg white mixture. Mix until well-coated, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Use a small scoop to measure out 1 heaping tablespoon of the cookie mixture. Spoon out all 15 cookies onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake at 350ºF for 20 minutes or until the coconut is lightly toasted. Cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes.
Optional
Some people like to dip their coconut macaroons in melted chocolate. To do that, simply mix up a batch of chocolate ganache (see recipe linked in the ingredients above), and dip the room-temperature macaroons in the hot ganache. Wipe off any drips and then place on wax paper (parchment will work in a pinch) on a wire cooling rack until the chocolate is cooled and hard.
