These macaroons are gluten-free, taste so yummy has a soft inside, and chewy with a nutty coconut flavour, that you cannot stop eating with just one. First of all, I like to tell you all the differences between Macaroon and Macarons. Macaroons are coconut-based ones with a chewy texture and can be easily pulled off. But Macarons, on the other hand, are sandwiched between fillings, has a light-airy texture, meringue-based, and know some tricks to pull over, If interested, check my Christmas Recipe Collection, by clicking this link.

- Now add the vanilla essence. Using a spatula, mix well till the condensed milk and desiccated coconut blends well. The batter should be in thick dropping consistency. the meantime, preheat the oven for 15 minutes at 180c / 350F.
- I used a measuring spoon to get a good shape (you can even make small balls and slightly flatten with your fingers). Line a baking tray with butter paper and dust with some flour. Grease the spoon with coconut oil or melted butter so the dough slides easily. Scoop a small quantity of the dough using 1 tbsp and arrange the dough on the tray by leaving a 2-inch gap.
- Press half cherries on each dough. Keep the tray in the centre rack and bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 180c, till the base turns to slightly golden colour. ENSURE BOTH THE TOP and BOTTOM rods are on in the OTG. Don’t bake more than that, as the cookies get burnt easily. Remove the cookies from the tray, place it in a wire rack and allow it to cool completely. First, the cookies seem soft but it turns crispy as it cools down.Do try this delicious Coconut Macaroon Recipe for this Christmas Season.

Notes
Tips for Coconut Macaroons with Condensed Milk
- Use good quality condensed milk, it acts as an egg replacer which lends softness to the Coconut Macaroon Recipe.
- If using freshly grated coconut, dry roast for a few minutes in low flame, till all the moisture content is used.
- The batter should not be flowing, it should be in thick dropping consistency.
- I used cherries for decoration, you can use slivered cashews or almonds too.
- Do the baking with both the top and bottom rods on in the OTG.
- In microwave, do the baking in convection mode at 160 c/ 300F.
- Ensure to bake the cookies till the base turns to golden colour, it takes 12 to 15 minutes.
- Once removed from the oven the COOKIES WILL BE SOFT, but it turns crispy when it cools down completely.
