Ingredients

  • 4 large egg whites
  • 3 C unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 C sugar equivalent substitute I used an erythritol/stevia blend
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp orange oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°
  2. Spread coconut on a large baking sheet evenly. Toast in oven for about 5 minutes until just slightly browned on bottom. Stir and allow to cool slightly
  3. Rinse baking sheet and cut a piece of parchment paper to cover baking sheet
  4. Whisk remaining ingredients together until frothy and solids are fully dissolved. Add coconut. Mix thoroughly
  5. With a spoon or your hands squeeze small balls of coconut mixture into round balls, approximately 1 - 1 1/2" round
  6. Place on baking sheet. They will not spread so you can place them fairly close to each other
  7. Bake until just golden, about 15-20 minutes
  8. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack

Recipe Notes

The macaroons will keep for about a week in an airtight container.
