“Forgotten” Macaroons

Prep Time: 14 minutes
Cook Time: 8 hours
Yield: 2 dozen

2 egg whites
¾ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups shredded coconut

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray 2 cookie sheets with non-stick baking spray.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites until they stand in stiff peaks, then continue to beat as you add the sugar gradually. Don’t worry if the sugar doesn’t dissolve completely.
3. Beat in salt and vanilla. Stir in the coconut. Drop mixture by mounds from a teaspoon onto prepared cookie sheets. Place in the oven and turn it off. Leave the macaroons overnight.
4. In the morning, remove from cookie sheets.

Tip:
You can dip them in high-quality melted dark chocolate if you like.
