Filipino Coconut Macaroons

Coconut Macaroons are chewy cookie-llike sweet baked mini desserts that are so jam-packed full of coconut.

That slightly chewiness and "crunchy" texture from the coconut is to-die-for!

Perfect as tiny bites to be served with coffee or milk.

Filipino Coconut Macaroons

Ingredients:

2 cups Dessicated Coconut

1 tbsp Vanilla Extract

1/4 cup All-purpose Flour

1/2 cup White Sugar

1/4 cup Butter, melted

2 large Eggs

3/4 cup Condensed Milk

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, add-in melted butter and sugar, mix well with a fork until creamy.

Crack-in the eggs one at a time while stirring continuously.

Add-in the vanilla, stir well. Then, pour-in the condensed milk, beat until all the ingredients are well mixed.

Add-in the desiccated coconut one cup at a time. Mix to evenly distribute with the mixture.

Add-in the flour, mix well until thoroughly blended.

Preheat the oven to 205°C.

Prepare your mini muffin tin lined with paper cups; or prepare your macaroon baking molds by slightly greasing with butter.

Scoop a tablespoon of the coconut mixture into each of the paper cups or baking molds.

Bake the coconut mixture in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the macaroons starts to turn slightly golden.

Remove from molds and place in a nice plate. Allow to cool before serving them as a dessert or a snack.

Happy Eating!!

Note:

You can also top your macaroons with raisins or semi-sweet choco chips before baking.

Macaroons are small; if they get burned they’re burnt all over. So you better keep an eye on them while baking.

Macaroons are good for presents too, use colorful paper cups when baking; Transfer them to a fancy box or large cellophane plastic then tie both with nice ribbons and you have the perfect gift.^^
