🥥 3-Ingredient Easy Coconut Macaroons (Beginner-Friendly)
🛒 Ingredients
- 2½ cups shredded coconut
- 1 can (≈ 1 cup) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven
175°C (350°F) and line a baking tray. - Mix
Combine coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla until sticky and well mixed. - Shape
Scoop small mounds onto the tray (use a spoon or your hands). - Bake
12–15 minutes until tops turn golden. - Cool
Let them cool—they firm up as they set.
🍫 Optional Upgrade
- Dip bottoms in melted chocolate or drizzle on top
- Add a pinch of salt for a sweet-salty flavor
🔥 Tips
- Don’t overbake—slightly golden = perfectly chewy
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking
- If mixture feels too wet, add a little extra coconut
🍽️ Flavor Ideas
- Chocolate chip – mix in mini chocolate chips
- Lemon zest – for a fresh citrus twist
- Almond – swap vanilla for almond extract
