Coconut Lime Macaroons

These tropical treats are a perfect combination of chewy coconut, zesty lime, and sweet sugar. They're easy to make and fun to eat!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut and sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together butter, egg whites, vanilla extract, lime juice, and zest.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
5. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
7. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

• Make sure to toast the coconut flakes in a dry skillet over low heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned.
• Don't overbake! Macaroons should be chewy, not crispy.
• Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie before baking for an extra touch of flavor.

Enjoy your Coconut Lime Macaroons!
