  4. Stir until the coconut is evenly coated.
  5. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to form mounds on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Place the macaroons about 1 inch apart.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the tops and edges are lightly golden brown.

Notes

  • Sweetened coconut provides the best texture and sweetness.
  • Watch closely during the last few minutes of baking.
  • The bottoms brown faster than the tops.
  • Parchment paper helps prevent sticking.
  • Allow the cookies to cool fully before moving them.
  • The mixture should hold together when pressed.
