coconut macaroons

i've made these before and they are so delicious, that is if you like coconut! very easy to make and requires very little ingredients.

recipe
14oz. sweetened shredded coconut
14oz. sweetened condensed milk
1tsp. vanilla
2large egg whites, room temperature
1/4tsp. kosher salt

preheat oven to 325degrees. combine the coconut, milk and vanilla in a large bowl. whip the egg whites on high speed with a whisked paddle attachment until they make medium-firm peaks. carefully fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture. drop the batter onto greased sheet pans with an ice cream scoop. bake fore 25-3o minutes or until golden brown.

this recipes from barefoot contessa, family style. today it was a little tricky for me to bake these. for some reason the batter was runny when i put it in the oven so i tried another batter and whipped the egg whites a little longer (firmer peaks!) and that seemed to help. so remember to make sure the egg whites form peaks. other than that i thought they turned out. baked them for about 15-2o minutes instead. so good!! --oh and you can dip the cooled cookies in melted chocolate which makes them all the more yummy
