Tips:
- Shred your own coconut. Using freshly shredded coconut will give your macaroons a more flavorful and moist texture than using pre-shredded coconut.
- Use high-quality vanilla extract. The vanilla extract is one of the key flavorings in these macaroons, so it's important to use a good quality extract. Look for an extract that is made with real vanilla beans, not artificial flavoring.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the macaroons tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the batter for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the batter will help the macaroons hold their shape better while baking.
- Bake the macaroons until they are golden brown. The macaroons should be baked until they are golden brown on the bottom and slightly browned on the top. If you overbake the macaroons, they will become dry and crumbly.
- Let the macaroons cool completely before serving. The macaroons will need to cool completely before they are firm enough to serve.
