Beautiful, lovely, soft, and the slightest bit crunchy. Coconut macaroons. My whole family just adores coconut. So I thought i'd make a little treat for them. I promise your family will enjoy them, just as much as mine. If you'd like to see how easy and delicious this little treat can be, then read on and let's get baking!

INGREDIENTS:

- 2/4 cups of flour

- 5 1/2 cups of shredded coconut

- 1 can (14 oz.) of sweet condensed milk

- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

- 1 teaspoon of almond extract

- 1 pinch of salt

-1/3 cup of your favorite chocolate

---

DIRECTIONS:

- Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

- Take a pan and line it with parchment paper, or a baking sheet and lightly spray it with non-stick spray so your macaroons won't stick

- In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix your flour, a pinch of salt, and coconut shreds till combined

- Add in your vanilla and almond extract

-Add in the sweet condensed milk till well combined

- Take a teaspoon and scoop out a generous amount (make them as big or small as you like) and add onto your pan

-Bake for 12 minutes or until the sides and top are lightly browned

- While the macaroons are baking, take about 1/3 of a cup of your favorite chocolate (I used semi-sweet) and add to a microwavable bowl and melt it for 30 seconds. Add a bit of canola oil to make it more smooth.

-When the macaroons have baked, add them to a cooling rack and let them cool throughout.

-Once cooled, drizzle some melted chocolate on top and let that set

-Enjoy!!

*Yields 12 cookies. Depends how big they are*
