And just like that, the holiday season is upon us. Time to bust out the cozy socks, queue up some cheesy Christmas movies, and start baking. To celebrate the peak of baking season, I’m going to be sharing 12 different cookie recipes, or (to be more festive) 12 Days of Christmas Cookies.
Day 7 – Coconut Macaroons. Simple, sweet, and really pretty, these are a classic at any Jewish bakery. And they couldn’t be easier. Tender, chewy, delicious.
Mix together coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold the coconut mixture into the egg whites and drop spoonfuls onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 23-30 minutes until they are a toasty golden color.
