Easy Coconut Macaroons
Description
This recipe combines coconut flakes with flour and a pinch of salt, then binds the mixture with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Small rounded spoonfuls are baked on parchment-lined sheets at 350°F until edges turn golden, typically 12-15 minutes. Once cooled, the macaroons can be dipped or drizzled with melted semi-sweet chocolate mixed with a little coconut oil, which sets with refrigeration.
The result is a moist and chewy cookie with a toasted coconut aroma and a hint of vanilla. The optional chocolate coating adds a smooth, slightly rich layer that complements the coconut's natural sweetness. These macaroons can be enjoyed as a simple dessert or snack and are easy to prepare with minimal ingredients.
Ingredients
- 5 ½ cups coconut flakes
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon salt

- ½ teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
