Coconut Macaroons

Let me share a little story with you about macaroons.  When Mr. D and I were in Maui this past year, we treated ourselves to a much deserved couple's massage. In the waiting area at the spa, they served the most delicious and heavenly warm coconut macaroons known to man! Mr. D couldn't keep his hands off them!

I tried my hand at this Taste of Home recipe, and while it isn't the same recipe we had at that spa, it comes darn near close!! If you are a macaroon person, you will flip over how simple this is.

Shopping List
2 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
 
 
 
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Spray your cookie sheet with Pam or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine coconut and flour with a wooden spoon. Stir in your salt, milk and vanilla.

Drop by the two tablespoons full on to your waxed paper.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly brown and toasted.

Remove from oven and serve either warm or room temp.

This recipe should make about 1 1/2 dozen macaroons.
