- Using a cookie scoop, gather a firmly packed ball of the coconut mixture and drop onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the macaroons are firm to the touch.

Notes
For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt. You can also coat the macaroons in dark chocolate.
