Ingredients

  • 2 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 scant cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean, scraped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried lavender buds
  • One 14-ounce bag sweetened shredded coconut, toasted

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the egg whites and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
  • Whip on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract and lavender buds.
  • Stir in the toasted coconut and mix until combined.
  • Fold in the whipped egg whites in thirds until just combined; the batter will look thick.
  • With a 2-tablespoon scoop, drop the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 1-inch apart.
  • You will end up with 14 to 15 cookies depending on how loosely you pack the scoop.
  • Bake until the macaroons are golden and delicious, 25 to 28 minutes.
