They packed with golden brown toasted coconut flavor, and they’re a coconut lovers dream cookie! These are macaroons, not macarons! Macaroons with two o’s are super sweet dense little cookies made of just coconut flakes, sugar, egg whites, and a small amount of almond extract.Macarons are the delicate French cookies made out of almond flour.I have a no fail small batch macaron recipe on this site, if you like, though! Why this coconut macaroons recipe is the best: I grew up on macaroons, but it took me some time to learn to love and appreciate them.

Good coconut macaroons should be golden brown and crispy on all sides, especially the bottom.Avoid all-white macaroons at all costs! If you see one that is white after baking, it’s usually because they’re made with condensed milk.It’s not that I don’t love condensed milk in my Tres Leches cake, but in my opinion, it doesn’t belong in thees cookies.

It makes them soggy and prohibits browning, and we want that toasted coconut flavor! You can dip their little bottoms in chocolate, if you want to make them slightly fancier for gift-giving.They would be great in a cookie box around the holidays, or on the plate as one of the cookies for Santa!
