Vanilla Macaroons

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 40
• 5 cups flaked coconut (that's one large bag)
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 egg whites (use 4 if the mix seems a little dry)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe

• 1 mix all the ingredients together, using your hands, if necessary, to get it all blended nicely.
• 2 line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• 3 place 1 inch diameter mounds on sheets, 1 inch apart. a small ice cream scoop works well.
• 4 bake for 15-20 minutes or until just beginning to turn golden.
• 5 these were a bit tricky to get off the parchment paper, so immediately after taking them out of the oven, lift one corner of the parchment paper and let a few drops of water run under it (use a little cup or just put it under a slow running faucet), turning the cookie sheet to distribute evenly, pour off any excess. remove macaroons immediately. this helps loosen the bottoms.
