- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites

Instructions:
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (160°C).
- Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture until well combined.
- Shape the macaroons: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into small mounds or balls and place them on a parchment-lined air fryer tray or basket.
- Air-fry the macaroons: Air fry the coconut macaroons at 325°F for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside. Check halfway through and adjust cooking time if needed.
- Cool and serve: Remove the macaroons from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy as-is or dip in melted chocolate for an extra treat.
