No Bake Chocolate Coconut Macaroons Recipe | Easy Childhood Cookie
Good morning everybody! Today, I'm going to share with you a childhood favorite cookie recipe - No Bake Chocolate Coconut Macaroons. But before we get into that, let me tell you about some meal prep ideas I have. I'm going to saute some leeks, mushrooms, and red peppers. It's a great option for making flatbread pizzas or adding to omelettes when you want a quick and easy meal. The sautéed veggies can be stored in the fridge for the week, making mealtime a breeze.
Now, let's talk about these delicious macaroons. They are incredibly simple to make and require just a few ingredients. Here's what you'll need:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1/2 cup milk (you can substitute with half and half)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
To make the macaroons, start by melting the butter in a saucepan. Add the sugar, cocoa, and milk, and stir until well combined. Bring the mixture to a full boil, stirring constantly. Once it reaches a boil, remove from heat and add the vanilla extract, oats, and coconut. Mix everything together quickly, as the mixture will become sticky and start to harden.
Let the mixture rest for a couple of minutes, then drop spoonfuls onto a sheet of parchment paper or foil. Let the macaroons cool and set before enjoying.
These macaroons are a delightful treat that brings back sweet childhood memories. They are perfect for enjoying as a snack or dessert. Give them a try and indulge in their chocolaty, coconutty goodness!
