• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 24 Macaroons

ingredients

• 2 large eggs, well beaten
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon almond extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups sweetened flaked coconut

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a sheet of parchment paper over a large cookie sheet, or butter the sheet.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, and almond or vanilla extract. Blend in the coconut until it is completely moistened. This is not supposed to be a batter, but rather well-moistened clumps of coconut.
3. Drop generous teaspoonfuls onto the baking sheet, and bake them for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown with crisp edges. Transfer them to a rack to cool.
