Coconut Macaroons from White Bread Recipe

Coconut Macaroons from White Bread Recipe

  • 16 slices white bread
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (7 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut
  1. Trim crusts from bread slices, and cut each slice into thirds. Lay out the slices on cookie sheets to dry out – a few hours or overnight. Turn over once for even drying. It is important that they dry out thoroughly like croutons.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.
  3. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a shallow dish, and put the coconut in a separate bowl. Dip bread pieces in the condensed milk, and then in the coconut. Lay on the greased baking sheets.
  4. Bake for 6 to10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly toasted. Be careful, as the sweetened coconut flakes tend to burn easily. Remove from baking sheets and allow to cool.
