Cuisine: French
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the macaroons from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded coconut, 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and the coconut is evenly coated.
- Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form small mounds of the mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each mound, as they will spread slightly while baking.
- Once all the mixture is shaped into mounds, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.
- After baking, remove the macaroons from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, the macaroons can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality shredded coconut for the best texture and flavor
- Make sure to pack the coconut mixture firmly when forming mounds to help them hold together
- For extra richness, lightly toast the coconut before mixing for a deeper, nuttier flavor
- Allow macaroons to cool completely to achieve the ideal crisp exterior and soft interior
- For variation, consider drizzling melted chocolate over cooled macaroons or adding a pinch of almond extract
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from becoming soggy
