Macarooooons!! Like eating a big, thick, chewy cloud of coconutty goodness. I do not remember the first time I had a macaroon, but they have always been near to my heart. They are my mom’s favorite. I remember there was almost always package of them at the house. I think we made them once or twice even.
I wanted to celebrate by making some from scratch. I followed Ina Garten’s Coconut Macaroons Recipe. Super easy and if you like coconut, highly recommend making some of these. I was so excited to make these I did not take a picture of the ingredients. You will need shredded coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, three eggs, and salt.
Combine most of your ingredients: combine the coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla.
Beat it: beat eggs and salt until you get medium-firm peaks.
Fold it: fold the egg whites into the coconut.
Scoop it: use grandma’s melon baller to make them cookie size.
Bake it: bake until golden, cool, and enjoy!
I followed Ina Garten’s Coconut Macaroons Recipe over on https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/coconut-macaroons-recipe3-1916155. I did substitute half of the coconut for unsweetened. There are simply sublime.
