White chocolate covered macaroons




OK so you know I loooove coconut and these are all coconut and covered with chocolate even better right??? And so easy to make. 

Heres what you need: 

INGREDIENTS:
1 14-oz bag of sweetened shredded flaked coconut
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. coconut extract
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 - 3 Tbsp. of all-purpose flour 

Chocolate for dipping

DIRECTIONS:

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the coconut, condensed milk, flour and extracts until well incorporated. Cover and put bowl in the fridge for several hours; overnight if needed.
Use a spoon to scoop batter and then roll with your hands to form 1 1/2-inch balls. Place each ball on baking pans lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper, leaving about 1-inch of space in between each. Preheat oven to 330 degrees. Bake for 20 - 23 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Let them cool and then cover them in melted chocolate. I sprinkled some sugar on top to make them pretty.



There you have it, sweet treats enjoy!!!!
