The Holidays Are Coming! Perfect Coconut Macaroons

[thebeatlesrule1970]

youre gonna kill your dogs giving them all those yolks

[mompm]

My macaroons baking right now- they are a tich runny because of not enough coconut- I was not sure what ounces to mls was and I underguessed. And I would love to know how to make my own vanilla because I go through a lot putting it in coffee. Did I mention your vids are the best to watch- you are easy to listen to- does not sound like a lesson or speech- thanks, merry Christmas

[jujutubes]

Thanks for this recipe Noreen. I made it last night and they are SO GOOD. I think next time I will double it. They did stick to the pan and I had to use an unused paint scraper to get 'em off LOL. They're really yummy though... thanks again :)

I'm gonna try your cream cheese brownies probably some time next week... those look amazing!

[mompm]

@jujutubes I've recently discovered baking all things, even lasangna, with parchment paper , it works very well to prevent stick and makes clean-up much easier. How did Noreen's brownie reciepe do?

[jujutubes]

@mompm Thanks for the parchment paper tip. I will definitely be getting some of that real soon. I have yet to make the brownies. I will be making them this week though (we're out of macaroons lol)... I'll let you know how they come out. I'm sure they'll be delicious! :)

[GettingThereGreen]

how long will they remain good for after you make them? If I make them today, can I bring them to a party this Thursday? LOL Thanks ~Amanda

[atticus9799]

@GettingThereGreen YES! I will also suggest that if your coconut is very long, run it through the food processor to make it smaller. Also keeping them in a plastic container will make them stay moist, they will be sticky, but they will be delicious. I put them in cupcake papers after I made them to keep them from sticking together. If you make them smaller, you can use the little candy papers. I hope you enjoy them! Noreen

[GettingThereGreen]

@GettingThereGreen I tried making these today and they totally stuck to the paper on the pan... I can't get them off. :( ~Amanda

[KamilZCz]

videos every day... I'll become addicted to your food and recipes :D

delicious!

Hey Noreen tip for you and your viewers If you don't have sweetened condensed milk you can use items from your food pantry to make it....1/2 cup boiling water 1 Tbs butter 1 Cup instant milk powder and 1 Cup sugar put in a blender and mix thoroughly it will thicken as it cools and use it in your recipe. I used it in your cream cheese brownie recipe worked great. and its cheaper.

omg they look sooooo good!!! thanks for the recipe and i love your hair!! :)

[GettingThereGreen]

if I wanted them covered in chocolate, how might I do that? LOL I can't imagine eating plain macaroons with chocolate. will the packed balls be packed tightly enough to then roll them in melted chocolate before putting them in the oven?

Thanks ~Amanda

[atticus9799]

@GettingThereGreen Bake them first then cool completely then melt some chocolate chips in the microwave and dip the cooled macaroons in the chocolate either the bottom or just drizzle over the top. But it wont work if you try to put the chocolate on prior to baking. Thanks and I hope you enjoy them, they are super easy! Noreen

[GettingThereGreen]

@atticus9799 I'm not a big coconut eater myself but others in my family do like it so I think I will try this recipe... but I'll dip them in chocolate as well so I'm more likely to want them myself LOL. Thanks for such an easy recipe. I like recipes with just a few ingredients. ~Amanda

[udder777]

Norreen you're the best ! I just put those cookies on my menu for the holidays. Ty for the recipe.

[Ladylasil]

I love macaroons, I'll be making these this Christmas and sending them off to my kids. I know they'll love em. mmm Thanks for the recipe.

[OUARNP]

Is there any reason why you don't use your mixer for to incorporate your ingredients?

[atticus9799]

@OUARNP Rick asked me the same questions, and I guess I just never thought of it to be honest and hand mixing is always what I have done. I also thought that that the coconut might get too cut up, but then after making this particular batch I thought that this coconut was SO long that it could have been run through the food processor to get smaller. I think the big mixer would be good, but a hand mixer might not work so well.

[stampingchaylina]

Another great one Noreen. I will be giving these a go. Thanks for sharring all your great ideas. I too, made the vanilla, and it will be in a basket of treats for friends and family along with the milling spices and homemade soap for their Christmas gifts.

[blairseybell]

Oh, I'm gonna try them. And, I'm gonna enjoy them! Your channel is fast becoming a big favorite of mine. :-)

[mompm]

I am going to make these this year for the first time- thanks for the reciepe- I like your videos you are nice to listen to and you get to the point- well done. Did you find the fat free same or better or worse?

[atticus9799]

@mompm I did not find one bit of difference! They tasted, cooked, looked and smelled the same and had the texture that I am used to. The only difference is there is less fat! Who could complain about that? I hope you are successful and I hope you enjoy them. Noreen

[goldengirl67]

Looks delicious! - the local food market makes tubs of these but I want to recreate them at home. They dip the bottom of the cookies in chocolate: would you wait until they have cooled or dip them right away? thanks.

[atticus9799]

@goldengirl67 Yes, I would remove them from the pan to a wire rack and cool them completely. They I would dip the bottoms in chocolate, OR I would just drizzle them over the top with chocolate. You could cover them entirely and make your own mounds bars.

[goldengirl67]

@atticus9799 thanks for the tip :)

[Nymphty69]

Yummy! Oh and yes, I've made 7 jars of vanilla and plan on giving them as gifts this Christmas, that was such a wonderful idea.
