Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy removal of the macaroons.
2. Prepare the Coconut Mixture:
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until everything is well mixed and the coconut is fully coated in the cocoa mixture.
3. Whisk the Egg Whites:
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form (about 2-3 minutes). The egg whites should be firm but not dry.
