Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, chopped pistachios, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they are frothy but not stiff. Fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture gently until fully combined.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form small mounds of the mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each macaroon.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as oven times may vary!
Once baked, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, melt some chocolate and drizzle over the cooled macaroons for an extra touch of sweetness.
