Ingredients
- 1 box (16 ounces) Angel food cake mix
- 2 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0 (as needed) Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
