How to make Coconut Macaroons?

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the egg whites. Beat until stuff peaks, about another 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the shredded coconut and salt. Using a spatula, fold the coconut into the beaten egg whites.
5. Using a large cookie scooper, about 2 tablespoons mixture each, place small mounds on the prepared baking pan. Leave 2" of space in between each mound.
6. Bake for 10-14 minutes, until golden. If the tops are getting too brown, you can tent lightly with foil.
7. Let the macarons cool for 10-20 minutes.
