Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line baking sheets with waxed paper.
2. 2
   Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
3. 3
   Beat cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt into egg white mixture until incorporated; fold in coconut. Drop spoonfuls of coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.
4. 4
   Bake in the preheated oven until coconut starts to brown, about 20 minutes.
5. 5
   Press a cherry half into the top of each macaroon; transfer cookies to a cooling rack.
