Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut and powdered erythritol. Stir until well mixed.
- Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks in a separate basin. This may take several minutes; if possible, utilize an industrial mixer.
- Fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture in a gentle manner. Ensure that the egg whites do not deflate; the consistency should be light and ethereal.
- Add the vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
3. Form Macaroons:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of the coconut mixture onto the parchment paper. You can shape them into small haystacks.
4. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the macaroons are golden brown on the outside.
5. Cool and Serve:
- After several minutes of cooling on the baking sheet, proceed to transfer the macaroons to a wire rack to ensure their complete dissipation.
