Ingredients
- 2/3 cup honey buy honey here
- 6 egg whites
- Pinch salt
- 2 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut (buy shredded coconut here)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
-
In saucepan over medium-high heat, heat honey until it boils, then turn down the heat and continue to simmer for 5 minutes. This candies the honey, which will help your macaroons to hold their shape without adding a stabilizer to the eggs.
-
As the honey is boiling, beat egg whites until almost stiff peaks form. Add salt.
-
Slowly pour in hot honey into the whipped eggs with the mixer still running.
-
Fold in the shredded coconut with a spatula until it’s thoroughly mixed. Be gentle, you don’t want to deflate the eggs.
-
Using a large cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the mixture onto the prepared cookie sheets spacing about 1 inch apart.
-
Bake for 30-40 minutes, depending on cookie size, until golden on the outside.
-
Remove with a thin spatula and cool completely. The cookies will continue to harden and dry as they cool.
