Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (16 ounces) Angel food cake mix
- 2 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- (as needed) Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix, shredded sweetened coconut, water, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a thick, sticky batter.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the macaroons are lightly golden and no longer sticky to the touch.
Remove the macaroons from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
