To make these Coconut Pineapple Macaroons, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

This recipe makes about 12-14 macaroons, depending on the size you make them.
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, crushed pineapple, and granulated sugar. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture, being careful not to overmix. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the macaroon mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the macaroons are lightly golden brown on the outside and set on the inside.
Once the macaroons are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
