Patty's Low Fat Coconut Macaroons


My sister, Patty, made these cookies for Tori's party a few weeks ago. I LOVE them! They're as simple to make as they are sweet and chewy. As Patty says, "The low fat part is great, but I like them because they are fast and easy and only use a few ingredients (which I usually have in the pantry)." Works for me! Thanx Pat!

2/3 cup low fat sweetened condensed milk
1 cup corn flakes
1 cup rice krispies
3/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut

Thoroughly combine all ingredients. Drop mixture in walnut-sized mounds 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes at 375F or until cookies start to turn golden brown. Remove cookies from sheet after one minute of cooling and cool completely on wire rack.

Tip:
To make sure your macaroons don't stick, use parchment paper or a silpat liner instead of greasing your baking sheet.
