A18 December 2021 • Community • www.lwca.com Cranberry Coconut Macaroons By Charlene Ingerson I got this recipe for these fabulous, easy-to-make cookies from my friend and former Leisure World resident Jackie Haas. Like me, Jackie’s daughter is also gluten-intolerant and these were her favorite cookies, too! A word of advice: These little cookies can create quite a mess if the pan is not prepared properly. Be sure to line the baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray or use nonstick foil (sprayed) for best results. Enjoy! Recipe Ingredients • 5 1/2 C sweetened flaked coconut (gently packed) • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk) • 2 tsp vanilla extract • 1 C dried cranberries Preparation • Heat the oven to 325 F. • Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick foil. Spray the paper or foil with nonstick cooking spray • In a bowl, combine the ingredients; blend well. • Grease a teaspoon or cookie scoop or spray it with nonstick cooking spray. • Using the teaspoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1-1/2 inches between the cookies. • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. • Immediately remove the cookies to a rack to cool. -Charlene Ingerson is a Leisure World resident.
