Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, stir together the sweetened coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract until the coconut is fully coated.
  • In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whites too much.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds of the batter onto parchment paper squares.
  • Place the parchment squares with the macaroons into the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't touch. Air fry for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown on top.
