A store favorite, these treats could only be described (upon Harry’s first bite) using four-letter words. Tsk tsk!

This recipe was developed by a pre-school teacher my mother works with. The idea was to make a recipe that a four-year old could handle- hence the number of ingredients and a consistency comparable to Elmer’s glue. This tastes better, though.

Lila’s Super Secret Macaroons
Yield: A lot. Depending how big you make them, about 50.

Ingredients:

1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 14-oz bag good quality shredded sweetened coconut
1 tsp. each almond and vanilla extracts
pinch o’ salt

Method:

1. pre-heat oven to 325 F.
2. thoroughly combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl with a wooden spoon.
3. using wet hands, roll teaspoon size balls onto a parchment (or silpat) lined baking sheet. you’ll have to rinse and re-wet your hands as the batter will begin to stick to your hands.  bake on the top rack for 20 minutes or until golden brown. allow to cool completely before removing from the cookie sheet.
