I baked this eggless coconut macaroons today and we all loved it so much that I couldn’t wait so share it so posting it today itself 🙂 I had little leftover condensed milk so was wanted to use it up and this recipe perfectly fitted my requirement.
These macaroons are soft and chewy and we loved it so much! As a added bonus this macaroons takes just few mins to mix up and bake, will sure take only 30mins flat from scratch to baking time.
These cookies can be done in a breeze and they taste delicious, just like the bakery soft melt in the mouth cookies, we call them thenga biscuits.

Condensed Milk – 1/4 cup
Dessicated Coconut* – 1 cup
Honey – 1 tbsp
Vanilla Essence – 1/4 tsp
Cherries – 3
*You can replace dessicated coconut with fresh coconut too
Method:
- Cut each cherry into 2,Set aside.In a mixing bowl – take condensed milk, add dessicated coconut to it.
- Mix well then add honey mix it up.Add vanilla essence, stir it once.
- Keep mixing till it becomes like this, a sticky mixture.Grease your hands if needed make lemon sized ball and flatten it slightly with your palm.Preheat oven at 180 deg C.
- Arrange it in a baking tray with butter paper on it.Grease the butter paper if needed, I didnt do it but still the cookies came out neatly.Bake in preheated oven for 15-20mins.It depends on the oven so please keep an eye after 10mins.Mine got done in 12mins itself.Remove from oven, let it cool down then slowly remove the macaroons from the sheet.
Store in an airtight container.
My Notes:
- If you are using fresh coconut then roast the coconut till golden then add condensed milk.
- Do not overbake , when its golden stop baking.
- I felt the sweetness was a little less so added honey, you can taste and skip it too.
- I halved the orginal recipe and got 6 cookies.
Hi Sharmi,
Great post. I have a question related to oven modes. I am using Morphy Richard OTG. It has upper heating rods and lower heating rods. When baking cookies and cake which option should we use?
1. Both the heating rods on (or)
2. Only lower heating rod is on.
I have this doubt for so long. Can you please help me?
I use both the rods on
At what temperature u baked them?
The cookies have come out wonderful….
Hi,
I tried these last night and they came out really good.. My son said they were as good as a bakery macaroon.. thank you so much for the super quick and easy recipe.
Can this b done in grill mode as I have microwave+grill oven.
No use convection mode for baking
I tried them today.. Super tasty..I liked the crunchy coconut.. So delicious.thanks for sharing a easy n tasty recipe
I tried them just now they taste so good. But inside is chewy,is that okay? Thankyou for the awesome simple recipe as always.
Yes it will be chewy only
Hi Sharmi, I tried this recipe but I got the macaroons with burnt bottom and uncooked top…I preheated my Morphy Richards otg for 10mins at 180°c and then placed the macaroons for 15mins at 180°c …could you please help me understand , what might have gone wrong?:-(
these cook faster and even leaving a minute or 2 extra will mak the cookies burn.Keep in middle rack while baking.
