Ingredients

Scale

Macarons Ingredients

  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 1/2 cups sweetened coconut flakes (from a 14-ounce bag)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Mix extracts and condensed milk: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla and almond extracts with the sweetened condensed milk until well blended.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the flour, coconut flakes, and kosher salt thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and sticky.
  3. Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour to allow the ingredients to meld and firm up for easier scooping.
  4. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready when you start baking.
  5. Scoop the macaroons: Using a standard ice cream scoop (about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons), portion the mixture into 18 equal-sized mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  6. Bake the macaroons: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the macarons are golden on the edges and set.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven, allow macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure to refrigerate the mixture so the macaroons hold their shape while baking.
  • Store macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For an extra touch, try dipping the cooled macaroons in melted chocolate.
  • Be careful not to overbake to maintain a chewy texture inside.
  • You can use unsweetened coconut flakes but increase the sweetened condensed milk slightly to compensate for sweetness.
