Coconut Macaroons
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dark rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch kosher salt
- 2 1/4 cups desiccated coconut
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- (We prefer the silicone for the crispy edges and caramelization that occurs with these cookies.)
- Lightly whisk the egg and egg white in a medium bowl until a bit frothy.
- Whisk in the rum and vanilla.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in the coconut.
- Using about 2 tablespoons per macaroon, mound the mixture on the baking sheet, leaving some space in between each one.
- Bake until the edges are golden and crispy, about 10 minutes.
- Cool, then use a small offset spatula to remove them from the baking sheet.
- The macaroons will keep in an airtight container for 5 days.
