Ingredients

20 ounces unsweetened coconut, shredded
2 large egg whites
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (or parchment paper) and set aside.
Add all ingredients to a large bowl and stir well to combine.
Using a large cookie-scoop, lightly pack the scoop with the mixture and place in mounds onto the lined baking sheet. Don't worry about leaving a large space in between because these will not spread.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes.
Allow macaroons to cool for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
To serve, sprinkle with a little fresh lemon zest. (Optional)
