Golden Coconut Macaroons
These macaroons are rich in healthy fats, fiber, and just the right amount of sweetness to keep you feeling satisfied. Enjoy them as a dessert or a light snack!
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
- 5 ½ cups sweetened flaked coconut
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Gather Your Ingredients
Get all your ingredients ready for easy access. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil for effortless cleanup.
Mix It All Together
In a large bowl, combine the coconut, flour, and salt. Stir until mixed evenly. Then, add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, and use your hands to blend everything until well combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold its shape when formed into balls.
Scoop and Shape
Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, form the mixture into golf ball-sized portions and drop them onto the prepared cookie sheets. Space them out evenly so they bake uniformly.
Bake and Toast
Bake the macaroons in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the coconut is golden brown and lightly toasted. Keep a close eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.
Cool and Enjoy
Once golden, remove from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool slightly before enjoying. These macaroons are great on their own or paired with a hot beverage.
