5 Ingredient Macaroons

So, LaVaughn and I experimented with a super simple, super delicious macaroon recipe Monday night. She found the recipe over that weekend and I was blown away by how simple these things were! I'm serious, ANYONE could make these -- even if you don't bake!

Here's the list of the super simple ingredients:

• 5 1/2 Cups of Coconut

• 2/3 Cups of AP Flour

• 1/4 Teaspoon of Salt

• 14 Ounces (one whole can) of Sweetened Condensed Milk

• 2 Teaspoons of Vanilla Extract

See, how simple is that? I honestly never thought making something as delicious as macaroons would be that simple. We even added chopped pecans to half of the recipe for out own spin. They were good, but not as good as the original.

Here's the finished product: 

Yummy homemade macaroons!

Here's the rest of the directions for those interested in making their own. :O)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, coconut and salt. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla using your hands until well blended. Use an ice cream scoop to drop dough onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about golf ball size.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until coconut is toasted.
