Another less-than-10 recipe for all the lazy bakers like me who just want to use one bowl and one measuring cup: Macaroons topped with dark chocolate or plain-Jane.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups AP flour (you can use coconut flour or another type to make this recipe GF)
5 cups shredded coconut
Dash of vanilla extract
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Chocolate (any type!)
INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the flour and the coconut. Add the vanilla and condensed milk, and stir to incorporate. Using a trusty kitchen scoop, form into balls and line ‘em up on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges start to become golden (just keep watch as you’re nearing 15 minutes—with my oven, these babies were done after 13!). Makes about two dozen.
NOTE: If you want to top with chocolate, simply melt chocolate chips or baking squares in the microwave, stirring after 30 seconds and adding time if necessary. Use a spoon to drizzle over the top!
Been craving an afternoon coffee and cookie break and received a text with this go-to chocolate chip recipe. It’s always hard for me to break from my beloved easy as can be blondies, but these cookies are moving up the ranks as favorites! A great cookie “base” to experiment with, too!
