- 1 (14-ounce) bag sweetened shredded coconut (see comments and photos regarding type of coconut)
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the coconut and the condensed milk until the coconut is evenly coated.
- Place mounds of the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet. For uniformly round macaroons, I like to press the mixture into my round tablespoon measuring spoon and slightly overfill it. The mixture will be sticky so you will have to work it out with your fingers and pat it gently into an evenly-shaped mound. (You may coat the spoon with oil or butter, but it eventually wears off. So, either re-coat or resort to your clean fingers!)
- Bake for 7-10 minutes or until flecked with brown spots and crisp around the edges. As all ovens vary a bit, peek a little early and watch closely for the last few minutes until you learn how long this takes in your oven.
- Remove from the oven, cool, and then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain optimal freshness.
