Instructions
In a small bowl, beat egg whites, vanilla and salt on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in coconut.
Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto well-greased baking sheets.
Bake at 300° for 25 minutes or just until golden brown. Immediately remove to wire racks.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port Wine, Moscato Dasti
Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti are my top picks for Macaroons. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
