I hope you still have room left for some more holiday treats after the sweet decadence of Christmas past because, folks, these coconut macaroons are so worth another bite.

I spent the week leading to Christmas baking different types of cookies to give out as gifts and I have to say, with the many varieties I whipped up, these coconut macaroons were the clear winner. Soft and chewy, they were an instant hit at the many potlucks I brought them to and drew the most ooh’s and aahs.

They’re so quick and simple, they need just five ingredients and less than twenty minutes to make. So bake up a huge batch, these coconut macaroons are sure to be everyone’s favorite treat!

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 24 pieces maraschino cherries, stemmed, pitted and halved

Instructions

  • Generously grease a baking sheet.
  • In a bowl, combine coconut flakes and flour. Toss together until well-dispersed.

Notes

Remove macaroons immediately from baking sheets as they will stick if allowed to cool.
