Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Whisk together sugar and egg whites in a medium bowl. Stir in coconut, almonds, (or chocolate chips) vanilla and salt.

Drop mixture by 2 tablespoonfuls about 2-inch apart onto parchment lined baking sheets. With moistened hands, squeeze each mound tightly together to form a compact ball. Using a spatula, flatten one side at a time to form a pyramid shape.

Bake in oven until golden brown on bottoms and edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks and cool 5 minutes. Transfer macaroons to racks and cool completely, about 20 minutes. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
