For best results, use room temperature egg whites, as they whip up to a better volume. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference; some prefer a less sweet macaroon. Store cooled macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their chewy texture.

Lightly coat baking sheets with cooking spray, ensuring even coverage to prevent sticking. (2 minutes)

Step
3 mins
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and cream of tartar until the mixture becomes foamy. (3 minutes)

Step
2 mins
Gradually whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. (2 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Whisk in the almond extract and flour until stiff, glossy peaks form. The peaks should hold their shape firmly when the whisk is lifted. (5 minutes)
06
Step

Gently fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the egg white mixture. Be careful not to overmix, to keep the mixture light and airy. (3 minutes)

Drop rounded spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a small space between each macaroon. (3 minutes)

09
Step
