Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, shredded coconut, and salt.
  3. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well mixed.
  4. Drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are lightly toasted.
  6. Remove from oven and allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure the coconut is evenly mixed with the other ingredients for uniform texture.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  • Allow macaroons to cool on the baking sheet to set properly before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
