• 3 cups shredded coconut
• 4 large egg whites
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:

   • Gently fold in the shredded coconut until the mixture is well combined.
3. Shape the Macaroons:
   • Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop mounds of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. You can also use your hands to form more compact and uniform shapes.
