Coconut Macaroons
makes 24
1/3 cup of flour
1/8 teaspoon of salt
2½ cups shredded coconut
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease 2 cookie sheets.
- Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Stir in the coconut.
- Pour in the milk. Add the vanilla and stir from the center to make a very thick batter.
- Drop heaped tablespoons of batter 1 inch apart on prepared sheets. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on a rack.
Ok so I made these and learnt a thing or two:
- I used half unsweetened coconut and half sweetened and it is sweet enough,
- There is a special tool to open condensed milk cans, I do not own it, and it is hard to pour out the can.
- It is hard to measure condensed milk.
- I think 20 minutes is too long – 15 minutes!
- Tasty.
Taking the cookies to work tomorrow as I actually never eat things I bake, so they should be happy…
