• Ready In: 20 mins
• Yields: 36 cookies

Ingredients

• 4  egg whites
• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2 3⁄4 cups sweetened coconut, shredded
• 1  cup peanuts, coarsely chopped

Directions

1. 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. 2. Whisk egg whites with sugar, vanilla and salt until well combined. Stir in coconut and peanuts.
3. 3. Using 2 dessert spoons (as mixture is sticky), gather a heaping tablespoon (about 22 mL) of the mixture. Place on baking sheet and form into a tight mound. Repeat with remaining mixture, stirring mixture in bowl occasionally. Set macaroons about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on baking sheet.
4. 4. Bake 1 sheet at time until tops of cookies are golden brown, about 13 to 15 minutes. If macaroons aren't perfectly shaped, edges can be trimmed with scissors, if desired.
5. 5. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes on baking sheet. Then remove to a rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
