Coconut Macarons
Coconut Macarons are chewy, sweet cookies made from sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and almond extracts, flour, sweetened coconut flakes, and salt. The mixture is shaped into scoops and baked to create golden-topped treats with a tender coconut texture inside.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2/3 cup flour
- 5 1/2 cups sweetened coconut flakes , 14 ounce bag
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the extracts in with the condensed milk.
- Add the flour, coconut flakes, and salt and mix until well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Use an ice cream scoop to scoop 18 macaroons onto parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Notes
- Use an ice cream scoop to form evenly sized macaroons for uniform baking.
- Chilling the batter before baking helps the macarons hold their shape.
- Click on times in the instructions (if supported) to start kitchen timers during baking.
