Coconut Macaroons
Makes 90
2 large egg whites
Pinch of salt
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Two 14-ounce bags shredded sweetened coconut
Ice cream, optional for Icearoons
1. Heat oven to 300°. In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites and salt until frothy, about 2 minutes. Stir in condensed milk and vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, fold in coconut until well combined.
2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. Using a teaspoon and your fingers, form macaroons into 1 1/4-inch mounds about 1 inch apart.
3. Bake until macaroons are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to a cooling rack; let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
4. You can make also make Icearoon ice cream sandwiches by spooning ice cream onto the bottom of one macaroon and topping with another macaroon.

Answer 3

This is the one I always loved - fluffy and chewy...

"Coconut Macaroons" - 4 dozen

5 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 egg white; whipped

Preheat oven to 325*. Line baking sheets with foil; grease and flour foil. Set aside.
In large bowl, combine coconut, condensed milk, extracts and egg white; mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake 15-17 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Immediately remove from baking sheets (macaroons will stick if allowed to cool); cool on wire racks. Store leftovers loosely covered at room temperature.
(Note: Macaroon Kisses - Prepare and bake as above. Press solid milk chocolate piece into center of each macaroon immediately after baking.)

Answer 4

I don't know, but I read some years ago that for unknown reasons coconut macaroons seemed to help calm down the irritable bowels of people with Crohn's Disease. I mentioned it to a friend who had Crohn's; she tried coconut macaroons and said that they did help her.

Answer 5

I once made them with
Eggs, flour, a little vanilla or sugar and shredded coconut.
Make sure they will hold together but too much flour will make them fall apart after baking.
Then just drop tablespoons on a cookie sheet
Bake at 350 ish until the top starts to brown.
That was like ....ten yrs ago. lol....they did turn out ok though.
Trial and error.
