Old Fashioned Filipino Coconut Macaroons

Old Fashioned Filipino Coconut Macaroons

This coconut macaroons, is the old-fashioned type I have been craving for. It’s moist and sweet with a very few ingredients and easy to make. You have an option to dip it with chocolate but opted not to, as I prefer, yet again the old fashioned type.

I have been craving for this coconut macaroons, as I remember the ones, I used to make with my sister-in-law many years ago. I call it old fashioned because this is the easiest and the simplest one that you can make and can even buy in small stores back in my country. It doesn’t even have a twist but plain simple macaroons. Now a days you can have it, dipped on chocolates or drizzled or covered with chocolates. Don’t get me wrong but they are as delicious too. And the chocolates add so much dramatic taste. But right now, we are on for this easy delicious, sweet coconut macaroons.

In this recipe I used the regular cupcake liners it came out a little big about three bites, instead of mini cupcake liners. But it all turned out the same.
