Finally a new post from me huh! Well, my family and I went on a trip to Missouri/Illinois that's why I was MIA for almost three weeks. We got back last Sunday...and after three days of sleeping in, unpacking, doing the laundry, uploading photos, cleaning up and attending to all those stuff that needs attention after a trip of any length, my daughters and I were finally able to bake something to share with you. It's nothing fancy actually...just a simple, easy to bake treat that's perfect for dessert or tea time especially to those coconut loving people out there. I'm talking about these Coconut Macaroons...
These treats are different from the Coconut Macaroons which are common here in the US. This kind of macaroons is what I may call the Filipino version and was the one I used to love when I was growing up. It's not the crispy cookie kind...it's the kind that's soft and chewy on the inside and a little crispy on the outside. In the Philippines, Coconut Macaroons are usually made and served during the holidays and other special occasions. They don't require much ingredients and are very easy to make. You basically just mix and bake. Sound easy enough? Well, try it and see for yourself.
