Coconut Macaroons

A very Happy Valentine's Day to all my family and friends!!! Got a lovely card from our daughter that read "To: Mommy and Daddy, Happy Valentine's Day! I love you." She has been wanting to know since yesterday what we were "baking" for today! Well, I didn't really have anything particular in mind, and was in-fact hoping she would forget the baking part. However, she did remember! We were home at 9.00 after a great dinner, and as I was wrapping up the day, I heard a little voice ask- "Mom, we could bake some dessert! It's a special day!"

So we baked some Coconut Macaroons :)

Ingredients here make about 10 macaroons. Time to cook is 20 minutes.

• 2 cups shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/3rd cup all purpose floor, some more if needed
• 2 Tbsp melted butter
• 1 Tsp vegetable oil for greasing



Method:

• In a bowl, add sugar and milk.
• Mix well together.
• Add the floor and mix well. Make sure no lumps are formed.
• Now add the butter and grated coconut.
• Mix all ingredients loosely.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees (F).
• On a baking tray, spread a parchment paper, and grease the paper with vegetable oil.
• With an icecream scoop (or any rounded spoon), place a few scoops of coconut mixture on the parchment paper.
• Bake for about 15 minutes and then put oven on broil for another 5-6 minutes. The coconut would have toasted by this time.
• Remove macaroons from the parchment paper while still hot. They tend to stick to the paper on cooling.
• Let the macaroons cool off before serving.
