Coconut Macaroons
by Jabena
Make these chewy cookies with or without chocolate chips, or make a batch of each. A Christmas tradition for my family. I make macaroons when I have egg whites to use up.

INGREDIENTS
- 2 Egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3-1/2 cups Sweetened flaked coconut
- 1/2 cup Semisweet chocolate chips (Optional)
- Cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees
- Lightly coat baking sheets with cooking spray
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites and salt until foamy
- Gradually add the sugar and whisk until shiny
- Whisk in vanilla
- Fold in coconut and chocolate chips (if using)
- Use a spoon or your hands to create 1-inch size macaroon balls and drop about 1-inch apart on greased cookie sheets
- Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until macaroons are starting to turn golden brown (about 20-25 minutes)
- Remove from oven and immediately transfer cookies to a wire rack and completely cool
- Cookies can be stored in and airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
NOTES
A KitchenAid mixer will make whisking much easier.
