12 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
- ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
Prepare the Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Stir thoroughly until the coconut is evenly coated and the mixture becomes cohesive and sticky.
Shape the Macaroons
- Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, measure out the mixture and form into compact, round mounds. Place each macaroon onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them approximately 1 inch apart to allow for slight spreading.
Bake the Macaroons
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops turn a light golden brown. Keep a close watch to avoid over-browning.
Cooling and Serving
- Remove the macaroons from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
This recipe is naturally gluten-free, as it does not contain flour or any gluten-based ingredients. However, to ensure 100% gluten-free macaroons, verify that the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk are labeled gluten-free, as cross-contamination can sometimes occur during processing.
