Print Recipe

A quick and easy Passover-friendly dessert made with simple ingredients, ready in just 10 minutes. These chewy, toasted coconut macaroons are naturally gluten-free and perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded coconut (about 240 grams) – unsweetened, medium shred
  • 4 large egg whites (about 120 grams), room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 grams) – superfine preferred
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat 4 large egg whites at medium-high speed until frothy (about 1-2 minutes). Add a pinch of salt.
  3. Gradually add 3/4 cup granulated sugar, about a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip until shiny, firm peaks form (3-4 minutes).
  4. Gently fold in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with a spatula.
  5. Add 3 cups shredded coconut in two batches, folding gently but thoroughly. Add optional 1 tablespoon honey if desired.
  6. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop rounded mounds onto the baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes until tops are golden and edges lightly toasted.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature egg whites for better volume. Whip sugar gradually to avoid graininess. Fold coconut gently to keep air in the mixture. If batter spreads too much, chill for 10 minutes before scooping. Avoid opening oven door during baking to prevent cracking. For vegan version, substitute egg whites with 3/4 cup aquafaba and whip longer.
