Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 4 cups shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

-
Mix together the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until well combined. Ensure that the mixture is evenly moistened.
-
Shape the coconut mixture into small mounds using a spoon or your hands, forming them into heaping teaspoonfuls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart to allow for spreading while baking.
-
Bake the macaroons in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown color. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.
-
Cool the macaroons on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Allow them to cool completely before serving for the best texture and flavor.
-
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. Enjoy these delightful coconut macaroons as a sweet treat any time of the day!
