Best Bake Sale item EVER

The Macaroon.

For some reason, with it's divine texture and tropical flavor, I assumed it must be terribly hard to make. The fact that you only found them in high-end bakeries must make them, somehow, difficult for the non-pastry chef to prepare. Right?

So. Wrong.

I have found the absolute easiest cookie on the planet. You will thank me, regardless of your fondness (or lack thereof) for coconut. You will thank me because someday you will need a dessert for book club, or a last minute bake sale item or preschool snack, and you will be able to make 2 dozen of these little bites of heaven in under 20 minutes.

GO!

Macaroon

2-1/2 C flaked coconut
1/3 C all purpose flour
1/8 tsp salt
2/3 c sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla

Combine coconut, flour & salt

Add milk and vanilla and stir.

Drop by tbsp onto greased baking sheets. Bake 350 12-15 min. Cool on wire racks.

Devour! (or dip in dark chocolate if you have time to spare...oh my goodness!)
