Ingredients

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

Directions

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.
4

A small ice cream scoop works well.
5

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until just beginning to turn golden.
6

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.
7

Remove macaroons immediately.

This helps loosen the bottoms.
