Coconut Macaroons Best Recipe

Coconut macaroons are one of the Filipino favourites. Since the Philippines is an agricultural country, we got lots of coconut trees and I associated this as the reason why it is one of the most popular foods of the people including me.

I remember when I was still in the Philippines, I used to crave the coconut macaroons sold by one popular bakeshop in the Philippines (Goldilocks) It is a little bit pricey but if you crave it, there's a way how to avail yourself it. When I left the Philippines, whenever I go home, I still long for it. I used to bring some as treat for myself or "pasalubong" (a gift/present usually given by one arriving from a trip) for my colleagues or friends abroad who are also wanting to have it. Although there are also a lot of stores selling it, I am still longing for the taste that I used to have. I did not realize that it is easy to prepare and cook.

WHAT ARE COCONUT MACAROONS?

What am I cooking today is a Filipino taste of coconut macaroons. Coconut macaroons are sweet treats made of flour with sweetened condensed milk, butter, eggs, and desiccated coconut. These are crusty and golden on the outside but if you taste it, it is chewy and moist.

You can try also other Filipino treats like Chocolate Crinkle Cookies Recipe, Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe, and Leche Flan.

TIPS IN MAKING A SUCCESS COCONUT MACAROONS

Avoid over-baking it. It will dry out the coconut macaroons.

Add eggs one at a time and beat the mixture well in between.

Use the middle rack of the oven to avoid burning the top of the coconut macaroons.

For leftovers, store in an airtight container or resealable bags outside for about 2-3 days or in the freezer for a month to keep it fresh.
