If you’d like to indulge, once the cookies have cooled, melt ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips and drizzle them over the cookies.
4 egg whites, at room temperature
1½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
½ cup sugar
¾ cup sliced almonds, coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the coconut, sugar, almonds, and vanilla until well mixed.
3. Drop the mixture, by rounded tablespoons, onto the prepared sheet about 1″ apart, to make a total of 18 cookies. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges. Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes, or until the macaroons are firm.
