These coconut macaroons are always a hit at any party. They’re soft and chewy on the inside while beautifully crispy on the outside. Oh and did I mention? They’re full of delicious coconut flavor! Yum!
I am obsessed with all things coconut. So when I tell you these coconut macaroons are out of this world, I’m not joking around. Yes, I take coconut recipes quite seriously, only kidding, but these are so easy to make and tasty.
Why Make These Coconut Macaroons?
They’re delicious. Delicious is an understatement. They are drool-worthy.
They’re so easy to make! I know, I know. The word “macaroon” just screams intimidating but I promise, these aren’t difficult to make at all. And the best part? You only need 5 ingredients to make these!
They’re oh so beautiful. If you’re looking for party food or something that screams “impressive” these cookies are it! They look so pretty at any event.
You can make plenty of these. The recipe I’ve listed makes between 32-36 macaroons. You can just double the ingredients and make over 60 cookies! Enough to feed a crowd. Or you know, keep for yourself, because these are irresistible.
These coconut macaroons are scrumptious just the way they are. But if you’re looking to change things up or elevate it, here’s how!
- Melt some chocolate and dip these cooked macaroons in it. Then let it stand to cool. It tastes amazing!
- You can turn these coconut macaroons into pina colada macaroons! Add 1-2 tablespoons of drained, crushed pineapples into your mixture.
Enjoy!
