I used to love the old family chocolate coconut macaroon recipe, but
it's loaded with fat. Recently, however, inspired by the suggestion of
making coconut milk from condensed milk and coconut extract, I came up
with the following modified recipe. It seems to work pretty well,
although the cookies aren't as chewie as the fatted version was.
Chocolate Macaroons:
2 cups brown suger
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp coconut extract
4 cups rolled oats
4 Tbl cocoa powder
Mix the suger & milk in a pot and bring to a boil. Remove from heat
and stir in the vanilla & coconut extract, and then the rolled oats and
cocoa. Mix until everything is well coated, will make a very stiff
dough. Spoon out onto a cookie sheet and refridgerate for 20 minutes.
