Filipino coconut macaroons are your new favorite baked treat! Soft, chewy and chock-full of coconut flavor, these mini cupcakes are absolutely addicting.
Coconut macaroons are widely available at most major supermarkets in our area but although soft, chewy and equally wonderful, they are a little different from the Filipino coconut macaroons I grew up with which are denser and sort of cake-like in texture.
Fortunately, a friend of mine emailed me a PDF of recipes from the Center of Philippine Concerns including one for macaroons.
As I read through the list of ingredients, I knew it was the Filipino version I’ve been looking for. Sure enough, the addition of flour to the basic ingredients of sweetened condensed milk, butter, eggs and desiccated coconut resulted to a more authentic Filipino coconut macaroons. Crisp and golden on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside, they’re absolutely addicting!
This recipe yields four dozens in mini muffin size which may sound a LOT but trust me, everyone will be fighting over them you’d wish you baked more than one batch. Besides, they’re good outside of refrigeration for about 2 to 3 days depending on ambient temperatures and they also keep well in the freezer for about a month. Just store in resealable freezer bags and thaw for a few hours when cravings hit. Enjoy!

April 18, 2019 at 6:36 amHi Lalaine, I’d really appreciated with your talents & blessings that you’ve shared with us. As a matter of fact, I already made this macaroons recipe many times & my friends really love it! Actually, I didn’t use sugar due to my daughter dont like too sweet so condensed milk is well enough for us. And I use organic unsalted butter, organic eggs & organic or unbleached flour & sooooooo delicious. My friends really love it & they want to order too. Thank you so much once again & I’m forever grateful. Take Care & God Bless you more! 🤗
Lalaine Manalo says
April 20, 2019 at 7:57 amThank you so much, Israel! I am glad you were able to modify the recipe to suit your tastes. God Bless!
Maria says
April 16, 2019 at 1:46 pmThis is so awesome! If you’d notice Ms Lalaine, I am a fan. Your recipes are my reference all the time!
Back to these macaroons.. I had made these so many times, and the minimum is two batches. And always a hit! Walang natitira! I had some pictures that i would love to show you, even little kids love them. Thank you thank you for this recipe!
Lalaine Manalo says
April 18, 2019 at 10:26 amThank you so much, Maria, for the 5-star rating! Yes, these macaroons are always a hit when I bring them to parties and I am glad you like them as well. I’d love to see your pictures. You can tag me on Instagram or Facebook #kawalingpinoy, if you like, and I’ll find them 🙂
Shirley says
April 9, 2019 at 9:51 pmHi ms lalaine, im looking for a recipe that would be a good source of income. We need to augment our family income because i am on treatment for lung cancer. Medication is very costly. Do you think it could help us? I will try this macaroons. Thank you and Godbless!
Lalaine Manalo says
April 9, 2019 at 10:50 pmHello, Shirley,
I am so sorry to read this. I could just imagine the worry and stress. I am praying for you and your family.
I used to sell these macaroons and everyone liked them, so I think they’ll be a good recipe to start. They’re also very easy to make and you get 4 dozens per batch.
Do you mind if I email you? Or maybe you can email me at [email protected] instead and I’ll reply from there. God bless!
erica joy says
March 15, 2019 at 7:25 amhi. hindi po ba masyadong matamis kung 14oz ng condensed milk ang ilalagay? maraming salamat.
Lalaine says
March 15, 2019 at 3:57 pmNO, not too sweet at all 🙂 It requires a whole can of sweetened condensed milk plus sugar but the recipe makes a lot, about 4 dozens.
Merceditas Smith says
February 26, 2019 at 10:06 pmIt was so good. On point with the taste. I used salted butter, cannot remember if you specified salted or not. When I tasted it reminded me of when I was growing up in Cebu. So delicious and addicting. Happy to share this sweet with my kids. Almost made 4 dozen but not exact because first batch of 24 a few overflowed. Oh well Thank you. I took pictures wished I could have added them here
Lalaine says
February 27, 2019 at 6:08 amI’d love to see your photos! If you do Instagram or Facebook, you can tag me at #kawalingpinoy so I’ll be able to find them 🙂
Patricia says
January 18, 2019 at 3:09 amHello can i use a brown sugar instead? Tsaka po okay lang ba na walang flour? Thank you 🙂
Lalaine says
January 18, 2019 at 6:18 pmI guess you can use brown sugar, magiging iba lang ang lasa at texture nang konti. The flour is important para sa consistency nang macaroons na ito. You might want to search online for other macaroon recipes na hindi gumagamit nang flour ad use those instead to make sure tama ang resulta.
Becka says
December 15, 2018 at 8:09 amHi Ms. Lalaine,
How long yung shelf life nya, I plan to sell kasi 🙂
Any tips po to prolong the shelf life?
Thankie
Lalaine says
December 15, 2018 at 10:10 amAt room temperature, they should be ok up to 3 days, depending on the type of weather you have. In the refrigerator, probably a week. These macaroons don’t’ have preservatives so they don’t have a long shelf life. Just make sure they’re in an airtight container so they don’t dry out. Good luck sa business.
Marnelli says
December 12, 2018 at 5:37 pmHello po. Yung bitter po ba na ginamit po ninyo salted po ba or yun hindi. Salamat po
Lalaine says
December 13, 2018 at 10:41 amI use unsalted 🙂

December 8, 2018 at 7:16 amHi Ms. Lalaine,

December 8, 2018 at 1:00 pmYes, you can save and bake the next day 🙂
Ann Mueva says
December 6, 2018 at 5:41 pmHi ms lalaine may i ask how much po ung sell nyo dito? and what sugar po brown or white? tia
Lalaine says
December 6, 2018 at 7:15 pmMatagal na nung binebenta ko but I think 1 dozen $4. White sugar ang gamit 🙂
Ivy Tumibay says
November 7, 2018 at 4:49 pmI tried and it was a success. Thanks for sharing this recipe Ms. Lalaine!
I use coconut pulp coz my mom used coconut milk often and I just thought why not make sonething from the tons of pulp she disposes.. Sayang kase😊
I just dried the pulp sa non stick pan for 10mins over low heat… Its as good as dessicated coconut.
God bless you more! Looking forward to try more recipe’s from your collection.
Lalaine says
November 8, 2018 at 3:15 pmThanks for a great tip, Ivy!
Camille Carillo says
October 5, 2018 at 3:44 amI don’t have muffin pans ☹️ Can I just shape it and bake it in a greased pan?
Lalaine says
October 10, 2018 at 6:56 pmI’ve never done this in a greased pan, the mixture is too loose to shape. I am not sure if it would work well but maybe bake in the pan like a cake and just cut into squares when done?
Nancy says
October 2, 2018 at 12:25 amHi Lalaine,
I’ve been making macaroons for quite sometime. I was hesitant to use your recipe coz I’ve been using a recipe from another pinoy website.
Decided to try your recipe and followed it to the dot and my family really liked it.
Guess I have to switch my old recipe to yours.. this is a keeper.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Lalaine says
October 5, 2018 at 3:51 amI am glad you liked the recipe 🙂
Heidi Edem says
September 8, 2018 at 12:55 amHi Ms. Lalaine. I just want to ask if what kind of flour that I need to use?? coconut flour or APF?
Thank you.
Lalaine says
September 8, 2018 at 12:16 pmIt’s all-purpose flour 🙂

Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
It tastes really good. my husband’s officemates are now ordering this from me. Thanknyou so much and God bless you more!
Lalaine says
September 1, 2018 at 12:58 amThank you for the feedback! These macaroons are really good, I used to sell them also and I still get requests for them from my old officemates who used to buy from me 🙂
Nhielwen tirol says
September 2, 2018 at 3:48 amHi miss lalaine, paano po if walang oven? Ano po ang ibang gagamitin ko? Thankyou po 😊
Lalaine says
September 8, 2018 at 12:28 pmHello
I am not sure how you can make these macaroons without an oven as they require baking. 🙁 Maybe try a toaster oven? I’ve never tried it personally but I think a few readers have had success using it.
Geraldine Traver says
August 23, 2018 at 2:32 pmCan cream of coconut be used in place of the sweetened condensed milk? It has the same consistency. The macaroons sound delicious!
Lalaine says
August 24, 2018 at 12:14 amI am not sure about replacing the condensed milk with coconut cream as it is actually thicker and more viscous. Is there a reason why you want to substitute?
Grace says
August 15, 2018 at 1:17 pmHi, Lalaine!..I would like to know if I could use gluten free flour to make these. Thank you.
Lalaine says
September 8, 2018 at 12:42 pmHello Grace,
I’ve never tried it with gluten-free flour but I don’t see why it won’t work. I am not familiar with GF baking but you might want to search online if you need to make adjustments in terms of liquid etc.
Louise says
July 23, 2018 at 11:26 amCan I use melted butter instead of softened butter?
Lalaine says
July 23, 2018 at 12:01 pmHi Louise,
The texture will be different. Baking is a little bit more complicated than cooking and a simple change in ingredients can have a significant effect on the final product. I would suggest following the recipe as it is.
Kaela says
July 11, 2018 at 4:26 amI love your recipe! Anyone with all the required ingredients and materials could easily make this dessert. I’ve made this a lot of times already and I can say that it’s almost foolproof and quite delicious.
Lalaine says
July 12, 2018 at 5:03 amThanks for the feedback, Kaela. I am glad you enjoy this recipe, it’s very easy to make indeed 🙂
kirzsten02 says
June 20, 2018 at 7:59 pmpwd ba syang lutuin sa oven toaster? if yes, how many minutes. thanks
Lalaine says
June 20, 2018 at 10:48 pmHello
I’ve never tried this recipe sa oven toaster so I wouldn’t know how many minutes. I don’t have one at home and hindi ako familiar sa temp. 🙁
Jec says
May 25, 2018 at 10:40 amHi, Lalaine!
Question: If I were to make these in a regular cupcake pan instead of the mini pan, how long do you think it has to be in the oven?
Thanks!
Lalaine says
May 26, 2018 at 6:45 pmAdd 4 to 5 minutes to the bake time. The best test is to insert a toothpick in the center of the macaroon, if it comes out clean they’re done.
Maricar C Ledesma says
July 21, 2018 at 8:35 amHi Ms. Lalaine,
Puwede po ba malaman if the flour that should be used here is all purpose flour or cake flour?
Salamat po.
Lalaine says
July 22, 2018 at 12:19 amAll-purpose siya 🙂
vicki anne says
April 30, 2018 at 11:03 pm1st time ko pong magbake. and since yung kapatid ko lagi nalang nagbibilin na bilhan ko ng macaroons, i tried to make some. gustong gusto nya po yung timpla ng recipe mo. 😊 masaya din po ako since 1st time ko magbake, perfect po at my 1st try. sarap po ng timpla niya talaga. gonna make some again pag may time. 😄
Lalaine says
May 2, 2018 at 7:27 pmYey! I am glad the recipe worked well for you. 🙂
Francheska Adonis says
April 24, 2018 at 10:17 pmHi! I don’t have mini muffin pans, but I do have cupcake/muffin pans that comes in 6 holes…I think they are about 2-3 inches diameter. Is that okay to use? If so how much cooking time do they require?
Lalaine says
May 11, 2018 at 8:50 amI haven’t tried baking these macaroons in regular muffin tins but I am sure it would work. Increase bake time about 3 to 5 minutes, just check by inserting a toothpick in the center of macaroons. If it comes out clean, they are done.
Nina says
April 8, 2018 at 8:13 amgud pm. ms lalaine. i havent made this but ask q lang if it will have the same density as the macaroons sold in goldilocks? ung ganung bigat and chewiness? ung po kc ang gsto kong macaroons. tnx po in advance sa reply 😀
Lalaine says
April 8, 2018 at 11:09 amI haven’t tried Goldilocks macaroons but these ones are very chewy and dense. Give the recipe a try, I am sure you’ll love the coconut macaroons!
Mia says
February 10, 2018 at 6:46 pmHi lalaine, I am gonna make this today kaya lang yung nakuha ko sa seafood city was Baker’s angel flake sweetened coconut. Pwede ba ito? It looks like dessicated coconut to me pero parang medyo moist sya ng konti. Im super excited to try this, fave ko to since birth lol
Lalaine says
April 17, 2018 at 5:47 pmHello Mia
I suppose you can use the sweetened one but decrease the amount of sugar lest the macaroons will be overwhelmingly sweet.
Maria says
December 27, 2017 at 8:39 amHi Lalaine, did you put the egg yolk only?
Lalaine says
December 27, 2017 at 10:36 amHello Maria,
No, use the whole egg 🙂
Nicky says
February 20, 2018 at 2:15 pmHi po pwede po bang wag ng lagyan ng sugar.? Pra po kasing sobrang tamis na.
Lalaine says
February 25, 2018 at 9:27 pmHello Nicky
Para sa akin tamang tama lang ang tamis, I really recommend adding the sugar because the recipe makes about 4 dozens, 48 pieces.
jenny says
February 26, 2018 at 10:36 amHi there – I love your site and been using some of your recipes to recreate for my kids some of my childhood treats. I have a question regarding your Filipino style coconut macaroons, the nutrition content you have here, is that for the entire batch? So every 4 dozens, there are about 322 calories for all 48 pieces? That seems so good to be true. I mean wow!! That makes me very happy, But. first I want to confirm its correct.
Many Thanks.
Jenny
Lalaine says
March 4, 2018 at 6:00 amHello Jenny,
322 calories for 48 pieces would make me very happy, too, as I can eat a whole batch of these macaroons in one sitting! Unfortunately, the nutritional info is based on 4 pieces per 1 serving. I updated the recipe card to clarify this. 1 serving=4 pieces.
Nabb G says
November 23, 2017 at 5:26 pmUse oatmeal in place of coconut and you’ll get yourself a healthier treat! And no worries because the taste is just the same. You can even put two or three pieces of raisins inside each mold for a surprise bite. Maybe Lalaine could write a recipe for my version. I’ll be waiting. 🙂
Lalaine says
November 24, 2017 at 6:14 amWhat a great idea! Will certainly try it and post the recipe 🙂
Mae says
November 27, 2017 at 5:02 amHi Ms. lalaine thanks sa recipe mo I now using it for my homemade macaroons business in just a week I sold 300 packs of macaroons. The following weeks 40 packs. Meron ka po recipe for pandan macaroons? Can u also post it in here.
Maraming salamat Ms. lalaine God Bless
Lalaine says
December 20, 2017 at 9:47 amWow! You made my day, Mae. I am so happy this recipe brought you extra income. Good luck in the business!
I don’t have a pandan macaroon yet but I think you can easily switch the flavor using the same recipe by just adding pandan extract instead of vanilla.
Sharmaine M. Rivera says
September 23, 2017 at 2:08 amHi I was wondering if this recipe does or doesn’t use any leavening agent like baking powder or soda?
Lalaine says
September 24, 2017 at 8:34 pmNo baking powder or soda. This is a very dense macaroon and it won’t “rise” very much.
Eunice says
October 27, 2017 at 7:40 amHi Ms Lalaine
I only have the chilled shredded fresh coconut. Can i use them instead? If yes, what should be adjusted?
Lalaine says
November 1, 2017 at 5:51 pmI’ve never used fresh coconut for these macaroons, I am a little worried they might change the texture due to their water content. I haven’t personally tried this but maybe you can dry the coconut at very low heat in the oven before using to kind of mimic the dehydrated coconut flakes.
Eunice says
November 23, 2017 at 11:34 pmHi!
Yeah i did dry them in the oven first before adding them into the recipe. They’re almost like the desiccated coconut and the macaroons turned out sooo yum!!! Thanks for this recipe.
Lalaine says
November 24, 2017 at 6:17 amGlad it turned out well! 🙂
maricris says
December 9, 2017 at 10:40 pmHi, what flour can i use?

Charlotte says
July 31, 2017 at 10:07 amI made this 3 x already. I used 1/2 cup of sugar because I only have Sweet Coconuts. My two little ones ages 2 1/2 & 4 1/2 loves this. Kawaling Pinoy is my only trusted Filipino recipes site.

Mary Jane says
November 23, 2017 at 7:03 amHi Ms. Lalaine
I’m wondrin if i can make the mixture ahead of time , put them in the paper cases then freeze it. . how long will i bake it for if it’s frozen? Or can i just make the mixture , then thaw it when i need it and scoop them into the paper cases? Which do u think works better? I am planning to make this ahead of time but i don’t know if it can be frozen or not. Thank u so much.
Lalaine says
November 23, 2017 at 8:46 amHello Mary Jane,
I’ve never tried freezing the batter so I really can’t guarantee results. I’ve tried, though, baking them first and then freezing them. Works well!
Sherryl says
June 18, 2017 at 5:06 pmHi. Is the dessicated coconut unsweetened?
Lalaine says
June 21, 2017 at 10:35 pmYes, it’s unsweetened 🙂
Tsiki says
June 15, 2017 at 12:35 pmHi Miss Lalaine
Pwede ko ba lagyan din ng grated carrots yung coconut nacaroons?
Thanks
Lalaine says
June 17, 2017 at 12:54 amHi Tsiki,
I am sorry hindi ko pa nasubukan lagyan kasi nang carrots and I am not sure how it would work. Let me know how they turn out.
Anna says
March 28, 2017 at 4:35 pmYour cupcake liners stayed very bright when baked. Are they a special kind? Most cupcake liners colours fade.
Lalaine says
March 29, 2017 at 6:26 pmHello Anna
No, they’re just ordinary muffin liners but the paper is a lot thicker.
cookingflip says

November 24, 2016 at 9:31 amHi. Can i refrigerate raw batter overnight? Made it in advance though tomorrow pa ko magkaka oras ibake eh. Would it make a difference? 🙂
Lalaine says
November 24, 2016 at 10:27 pmHello Denise,
I always bake mine on the day I make the batter but I think it’s going to be ok.
Anna Baterna says
January 31, 2017 at 8:23 pmHi,
Just wanna ask if how long po ung life span ng macaroons? thank you
Lalaine says
March 11, 2017 at 3:24 amThey should be good for 1 to 2 days outside of refrigeration and a few days longer in the fridge. You can also freeze them in resealable bags and they should be good for a couple of months.
yabshu21 says
February 19, 2017 at 10:46 pmhi mommy lalaine, is it ok to use dairy cream for butter?
Lalaine says
March 11, 2017 at 3:11 amI haven’t used Dairy Cream for a long time but I think it’s a brand of butter right?
Cat Quiambao says

It’s the nth recipe I tried, and this is the only recipe and I keep on making. I love them dearly. Thank you for great recipes. Sa blog mo na ako nangongopya ng recipes.
Lots of love and hugs.

January 6, 2016 at 12:52 amNapasaya mo naman ako nang todo, salamat sa feedback. I am glad nagustuhan nang buong family itong macaroons 🙂
Hazel Collado says
December 4, 2015 at 6:11 amHello, Ms. Lalaine! I just finished baking this recipe and it came out perfect! They were economical yet so satisfying.Thanks for sharing. 🙂 I just have one concern. It came out more like a coconut cupcake rather than coconut macaroons. The top had a crispy crust with a chewy center just as I liked it, it’s also the part where the shredded coconut is visible, but the bottom was like a cupcake. It’s perfectly fine though. I just want to ask just in case I had done something wrong with it or if I’m the only one who had this result. Looking forward for your reply! Thanks!
Lalaine says
December 13, 2015 at 11:07 pmHello Hazel
Yes, these macaroons are a little different from the regular coconut macaroons as they have added flour. They do taste like mini coconut cupcakes 🙂
irish says
December 17, 2015 at 7:51 pmhi ms lalaine ask ko lang po ittry ko po sana ito pwede po ba gumamit ng ordinary oven lang po?
Isabel says
September 26, 2016 at 5:28 pmHi madam
What kind of flour Po gamit nyo Po?
Lalaine says
September 26, 2016 at 6:40 pmAll purpose flour 🙂
Eileen says
January 14, 2017 at 5:40 pmCan I ise frozen grated coconut
Lalaine says
April 18, 2018 at 3:54 pmFrozen grated coconut has excess liquid and will affect the texture of the macaroons. I’ve never tried this personally but I think if you put the coconut on a baking sheet and dry them in the oven on very low heat for a few minutes, they might work.
anna says
December 2, 2015 at 8:39 amI will definitely try this! I am in search of easy macaroons recipe. I tried one and it was an epic fail. I am fixing the recipe up to the last bit. This recipe seems to be more fair. The one I tried kasi asked for 400g of dessicated coconut for a can of condense.
Ms. Lalaine, do you have a recipe for an oreo cookie and mini cake? My dad’s birthday is on the 15th of December. And I wanna personalize his birthday cake.
Thank you for your recipes.
God bless.
Thanks,
Anna

October 12, 2015 at 12:57 amHi miss lalaine your recipe is perfect for me the problem is i dont have a macaroons molder ive search some of the supermarkets here but cant find a molder for this 🙁 but thanks anyways. 🙂
Lalaine says
October 12, 2015 at 1:00 amHi Carmela
You don’t need a macaroon molder, just use a muffin pan.
Maria Carmela Suarez says
October 13, 2015 at 11:22 pmthanks miss lalaine aabangan ko ibang recipe mo 🙂
Lalaine says
October 13, 2015 at 11:25 pmYou’re welcome 🙂
maria carmela suarez says
October 16, 2015 at 8:36 amMiss lalaine i wanted to try sana gumawa ng moist banana muffin do you have recipe for that? Thank you.
Lalaine says
October 16, 2015 at 9:38 pmI don’t have one on Kawaling Pinoy but I have on my other blog http://www.onionringsandthings.com/2013/12/mini-banana-bread-loaves/ 🙂
maria carmela suarez says
October 19, 2015 at 7:22 pmMiss lalaine do you have a recipe for chewy brownies?im a single mother and sometimes i bake and sell it to my friends and my daughter’s classmates for extra income 🙂 thanks a lot.
Lalaine says
October 19, 2015 at 8:12 pmHello Maria
I have on my other blog, these are so fudgy and chocolatey, very easy to make, too! Here is the link http://www.onionringsandthings.com/2014/05/one-bowl-brownies/
Maan says
September 6, 2015 at 10:54 amHello po!
I’ve tried and been making this for a while now, and everyone loves it. Thank you for the super easy recipe 🙂
Just a question tho, I noticed when we eat it right after I baked it, dumidikit po sa muffin liner and mahirap tanggalin. But then after a few days ok and mas madali na. Do you think it’s the muffin liner that I use?
Thank you po! 🙂
Lalaine says
September 6, 2015 at 11:00 amHello Maan
NO, walalng problema sa muffin liner. Mainit pa kasi kaya dumidikit at pag malamig na nang konti, mas madaling alisin ang liner 🙂
Mai says
August 17, 2015 at 6:56 amHi Ms. Lalaine! If I’m going to make this using the standard/regular size muffin pan (that’s all I have for now), should I also adjust my cooking time? Also, how many pieces will this recipe yield using a standard/regular size muffin pan? Thanks much!!! 🙂
Lalaine says
August 18, 2015 at 2:15 pmMai
I’ve never tried baking these in the large nuffin pans. I am guessing they need to bake longer, may be another 3 to 5 minutes?
Sharmaine says
July 27, 2015 at 5:40 pmcan you use any type of flour or cake flour? Thanks!
Lalaine says
July 27, 2015 at 7:50 pmI am sorry but I’ve never tried baking these other than with all purpose flour. Cake flour has less protein/gluten than regular flour so texture or structure of the macaroons might change. If you do try it, please let me know how it worked out.
Irene says
July 18, 2015 at 3:04 amPerfect recipe! Simple and tastes so yummy. Thank you for sharing. Very highly recommended.:-)
Lalaine says
July 21, 2015 at 5:11 pmHi Irene
Aren’t they delicious? These macaroons are so addicting and very easy to make too. I am glad you enjoyed them and I really appreciate the feedback. 🙂
Lenam says
June 10, 2015 at 8:18 pmHi Ms. Lalaine! Thank you for sharing your recipe. I baked it twice. Masarap sabi ni hubby! I lessened the sugar to 1/2 cup, added 1 tsp baking powder and grated some cheese on top. I’ll definitely bake it again using desiccated coconut. I used fresh grated coconut kasi.
Melinda Flemings says
June 9, 2015 at 12:45 amI made these tonight and they came out beautiful and delicious. I used coconut flakes as I don’t have desiccated coconuts. Glad I am found your blog. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipe.
Karen says
May 21, 2015 at 11:22 pmI made these for first time using your recipe and they turned out delicious, my daughter doesn’t like coconut but she absolutely loved them ! her comment was “Mum you know I don’t like coconut but these taste really good!”
I agree these won’t disappoint the only disappointment is when they are all eaten and none left for me! hahaha
thank you!
ana says
May 27, 2015 at 7:59 pmCan I used cake flour to the coconut macaroons instead of just glour?
Karen says
May 28, 2015 at 7:09 pmI don’t see why you can’t use cake flour, my friend sometimes uses polenta instead of the flour
Lalaine says
June 1, 2015 at 10:06 pmThanks, Karen, for the tip. I’ve never tried polenta for baking these but I’ll keep that in mind.
ging says
May 15, 2015 at 7:01 pmi can guarantee you guys, this is a no fail type of recipe. sooo easy and sooo yummy. i put in 1/2 tsp. of baking powder for added volume and reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup..big thanks to ms. lalaine
Lalaine says
May 17, 2015 at 9:20 pmThanks, Ging, for the feedback. I’ll try adding baking powder the next time. 🙂
Karen says
May 14, 2015 at 5:40 pmHi Ms. Lalaine,
2 cups of dessicated coconut is 200g po ba or 400g?
Thank you for the recipe! 🙂
Lalaine says
May 17, 2015 at 9:24 pmHi Karen
2 cups of dessicated coconut is about 200 grams. 🙂
mya says
May 6, 2015 at 5:01 pmI tried this… so delicious. I lessened the sugar to 2/3 cups though
jelo says
April 30, 2015 at 2:46 amhi. i would like to ask if what is a cup of flour for? bcos i used to make my macaroons without adding a flour thats i wanna know, thanks for answering, 🙂
camille says
April 15, 2015 at 10:34 pmHi lalaine! I admire your patience in answering questions eventhough some were persistent and sobrang kulit.heheh.. thanks! I hope you’ll try baking macaroons with lecheflan underneath.. they call it “custaroon” or “lecheroon” and share it in your blog.
thankyou so much!
Lalaine says
April 17, 2015 at 8:11 pmHello Camille
I do enjoy reading the comments and interacting with readers. Haha, I know what you mean. I think, napagtripan ako that time kaya ganun ang mga tanong at paulit ulit. 🙂
I’ve never heard of custaroons until you mentioned them. Wala na kasi ako sa Pilipinas when they became popular in early 2000 kaya hindi ako familiar. I’ll try to experiment or do some research and see if I can replicate them at home. Stay tuned 🙂
Aldee says
July 8, 2015 at 12:49 amHi ms lalaine, i too tried this recipe, needless to say everyone loved my macaroons. Anyway, like ms camille, i have been wanting to try custaroons too. Its basically the same i think but the recipe will require more egg yolks to make the taste “custardy”:). Hindi ko din alam kung baked or steamed. Awaiting your recipe. Yup, staying tuned!
Johaziel dela cuz says
February 24, 2018 at 1:53 amHi ms lalaine what will i do if my ovens temperature is up to 250 only..? Doi need to cook the macaroons longer.?
Lalaine says
March 4, 2018 at 6:02 amIs 250/your oven in celsius? Please double check, the temperature I use is in Fahrenheit.
Zenaida says
April 6, 2015 at 3:32 pmHello,
Can I use coconut flakes and get thesame result? Thanks
Zenaida says
April 6, 2015 at 3:25 pmHello,
Can I use coconut flakes? It’s a bit longer than the desiccated coconut. Will I get thesame result? Thanks.
Lalaine says
April 7, 2015 at 5:39 pmHi Zenaida
I think coconut flakes will work as they are “dry” as dessicated coconut but the texture might be a little different as they are thicker while dessicated is more on the fine side.
Maureen | Orgasmic Chef says
March 25, 2015 at 4:50 amWhen I saw the photos I thought cupcakes but read macaroons and I had to come and learn more. I would love these!
Are they ever served with icing or frosting on top or drizzled with chocolate?
Lalaine says
March 25, 2015 at 12:14 pmHello Maureen
No need to add anything, they’re delicious as is. Although, I might try drizzling them with chocolate as you suggested. A little chocolate here and there is always a good idea 🙂
ging says
March 20, 2015 at 7:14 pmhi, preheated ba ang oven?
Lalaine says
March 20, 2015 at 10:49 pmHi Ging
Yes, oven is preheated to 350 F 🙂
teepee says
March 3, 2015 at 4:26 amHello again Ms. Lalaine! How can I thank you enough for this recipe? Eversince i got this macaroon recipe from your blog, i’ve been soooo hooked haha! I always make it a point that i have the basics in my cupboard and it has always and constantly been my stress buster. I have made them as my gift last christmas and my kids’ teachers love it. I can Easily whip up one batch even if I’m tired from day’s work and make them after dinner. Guess what, my brother from the other house even comes in my kitchen as soon as he smells the freshly made macaroons,haha! You are an angel. Now that it’s nearing summer here in the Philippines, I am starting to browse your other recipes, Am gonna make up some of those refreshing buko lychee drink. Thanks again and more power.
Lalaine says
April 15, 2015 at 11:16 pmHello Teepee
I am glad you enjoyed the recipe. It really is a very simple recipe and like you, I always have the ingredients available so I can easily bake a batch when craving hits.
Please go try the buko lychee drink, so refreshing especially with the fresh coconut we have there. I have to settle for the frozen kind here and it’s not quite the same 🙁
myle says
February 24, 2015 at 4:08 amPwede po ba n egg white lng ang gamitin?
Lalaine says
February 25, 2015 at 8:24 pmHi Myle
I’ve never tried these macaroons with just the whites so I can’t guarantee the texture or flavor. If you do try it with the egg whites, please let me know how it turns out.
mariel says
March 15, 2015 at 11:06 amjust asking if it is a brown or white sugar?
Lalaine says
March 15, 2015 at 4:12 pmHi Mariel
It is white granulated sugar
angeline says
March 21, 2015 at 12:06 pmhi miss,ask ko lang po kung egg whites lang po talaga at hindi na kasama ang yolks?? thanks po ..
Lalaine says
March 21, 2015 at 11:28 pmHello Angeline
No, please use the whole egg, yolk and white parts 🙂
ots says
February 22, 2015 at 6:34 pmhi ms. lalaine! i followed your recipe and it was a success. thanks for posting! 😀
Lalaine says
February 25, 2015 at 8:29 pmAren’t these macaroons delicious? And so simple to make, too! Thank you so much for your feedback. 🙂
cristina dilla says
May 5, 2015 at 12:45 amhello po gud day po sa nyo.. tanong ko lang po pwedi po bang gumamit nang oven toaster para maka pagluto ng macaroons? \kung pwedi paano po ba yung exact time n gagamitin….
Tara Zyla O. Vargas says
January 30, 2015 at 9:35 pmHello, Ms. Lalaine,
Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe. I’ve tried making it and I super duper love the result! It was crunchy on the outside and soft/chewy inside, just what I wanted in my coconut macaroons. I’m planning to make it again and I will surely try some of the recipes posted in your blog. Thanks again!
Lalaine says
February 17, 2015 at 4:25 pmHello Tara
Thank you for the feedback, I am glad you liked them. Please do try our other rcipes and let me know how they turned out. 🙂
april says
January 28, 2015 at 2:05 pmHi ms lalaine pwede ko po ba gamitin slenda instead of regular sugar?or do u have any suggestion coz i want to bake it for someone diabetic with out boosting their blood sugar too high?tnx
Lalaine says
January 29, 2015 at 11:29 pmHi April
I’ve never tried baking these with sugar substitutes so I really can’t guide you through it. Here is the link to the Splenda website where you’ll find tips on cooking and baking https://www.splenda.com/cooking-baking
I hope you do get to bake them as I am sure the person you’re baking them for will enjoy them 🙂
cla udia says
February 14, 2015 at 11:53 pmhi how many stick of butter did you use
Lalaine says
February 15, 2015 at 11:47 am1/3 cup would be a little less than 1 stick of butter which is 1/2 cup. The wrapper should have a grid to follow. 1/3 cup would be roughly 6 tablespoons. Hope this helps
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 12:54 amlalaine hndi ko gets ung sa butter ehhh pls help me naman
Lalaine says
February 16, 2015 at 1:09 amThe recipe ingredients and instructions are very clear. You need 1/3 cup of butter, about 6 tablespoons. You need 2 cups dessicated coconut. You can’t use “packs” as basis for measuring as they come in different weights and sizes. Use a standard measuring cup, please. Again 2 cups.
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 1:22 amwhat did you use to measure the dessicated coconut and flour
DRY MEASURING CUPS OR LIQUIDMEASURING CUPS
Lalaine says
February 16, 2015 at 1:28 amdry measuring cups
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 12:18 amhiiiiiiii how many sticks pf butter did you use
Lalaine says
February 16, 2015 at 12:23 amHello Claudia
The recipe requires less than 1 stick as 1 stick of butter is equals to 1/2 cup. You need only 1/3 cup. The wrapper of the butter is usually graduated, it has measurements you can use as guideline. 1/3 cup is about 6 tablespoons.
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 12:30 amhi lalaine pwede 2 stick nalang ang butter na gamitin ko para mas malasa sya dba 😀
Lalaine says
February 16, 2015 at 12:34 amI wouldn’t recommend increasing the amount of butter. More does not necessarily mean better. Magiiba ang texture nang macaroons and they’ll fall flat. Please follow the recipe, you won’t be disappointed 🙂
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 12:32 amISESET koba ang oven Sa 20 minutes 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Lalaine says
February 16, 2015 at 12:41 amYes, please 🙂
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 12:53 amilang pack gnamit mo ng dessicated coconut
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 1:06 amhow many packs of desicated cconut did you use
Lalaine says
February 16, 2015 at 1:12 amHi Claudia
I am sorry but I answered your question many times. Same question, same answer. Please read the recipe instructions. Thanks
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 1:12 amILANG dessicated coconut gnamit mo
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 1:14 amhi lalaine will you please tell me plsssss how many packs of dessicated cconut did you use
Lalaine says
February 16, 2015 at 1:18 amClaudia, I used 2 cups. I don’t know how many packs that would be as they come in different weights and sizes. Ang standard measuring cup is about 8 ounces.
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 1:16 amhi po lalaine hndi ko po talaga gets ung sa butter
Lalaine says
February 16, 2015 at 1:19 amPlease use a tablespoon to measure to make it easier. You need 6 tablespoons.
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 1:27 amcan i use a not butter softened
Lalaine says
February 16, 2015 at 1:29 amYou need to soften the butter as you have to cream it with the sugar. Mahirap siyang haluin with the sugar kung matigas. Not melted or tunaw, malambot lang nang konti
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 1:31 amang tanong po pano poba maging softenend ang butter??????????
Mel says
September 18, 2015 at 4:33 amHi Lalaine, I am using wholemeal flour and wih no sugar. Last week I added 1/2 cup grated cheese and 2 eggs and it’s more tastier. Thanks for the recipe. ? Mel
Lalaine says
September 18, 2015 at 9:26 pmThanks for the tips, Mel 🙂
Jem says
December 28, 2014 at 4:56 amHi Ms. Lalaine!!! hmmm… do you think a convection oven would work?? (turbo lang kasi ang meron kami kaso i’m not sure with the physics of baking in a turbo. hehehe. though i am able to make brownies with it)
nwey, i just read the comments and the recipe sounds amazing :))
Happy holidays 🙂
Lalaine says
December 28, 2014 at 11:24 amHello Jem
I’ve never tried doing the macaroons sa turbo. It might work, just adjust bake time at mas mabilis magluto ang convection. A few readers mentioned doing it sa toaster oven also with good results. Masarap siya so I hope you find a way to make them.
Via Fajardo says
December 21, 2014 at 2:41 amHi Laline, can we use oven toaster for this?
Mich says
December 20, 2014 at 7:57 pmI tried this recipe today but its too sweet for my preference, the 3/4 cup sugar can be omitted as theres already 1 can of condensed milk, it will be healthier as its less sugar.
Lalaine says
December 20, 2014 at 8:09 pmHi Mich
Did you use sweetened coconut flakes? This might have made the macaroons too sweet. I use dessicated coconut (unsweetened) and I find the 3/4 cup sugar just right to pull the macaroons together.
Of course, the less sugar we use, the better for our health 🙂
Hanna says
March 1, 2015 at 5:09 pmCan I use sweetened dessicated coconut and omit the sugar? Or would that change the texture?
pam says
December 14, 2014 at 2:48 pmhello, i tried doing a first batch and the middle part flopped! What did i do wrong? Please help!! Thanks!
Lalaine says
December 15, 2014 at 11:12 pmHi Pam
I am sorry that you had problems with the recipe. The macaroons don’t really rise during baking so I am not sure what you mean that they “plopped in the center”. Did you overfill the muffin cups? Did you add and beat the eggs one at a time?
Rizzaleen says
December 10, 2014 at 6:38 amHi, just wanted to ask if it’s okay to use fresh shredded coconut instead? Thanks
Lalaine says
February 17, 2015 at 4:30 pmI’ve never tried them with fresh grated coconut, it might affect the product as fresh coconut has a higher water content than dessicated. You might want to dry the fresh grated coconut in the oven first to draw out excess moisture.
Via Fajardo says
November 26, 2014 at 8:57 pmHi Ms. Lalaine,
Sa oven lang ba sya pwede lutuin? Hindi ba pwede steamed?
Lalaine says
November 27, 2014 at 12:19 pmHello Via
I am sorry, oven siya linuluto at sa tingin ko hindi pwede Sa steamer. Iba ang kalalabasan nang product dahil wet heat ang steamer at dry naman ang oven.
Via Fajardo says
November 27, 2014 at 4:15 pmthanks for the quick response Ms. Lalaine 🙂
Anne says
November 26, 2014 at 3:21 amHi po.
Ask ko lang po if okay lang po na Cake Flour ang gagamitin.
if hindi naman po okay, anu naman pong brand ng All Purpose Flour ang best na gamitin.
Thanks po.
Lalaine says
November 26, 2014 at 8:42 amHi Anne
All-purpose flour ang ginagamit ko sa paggawa nang macaroons. 🙂
Chelle says
November 25, 2014 at 11:46 pmHi, I made your macaroons and added 1/2 cup of grated cheese and 1 teaspoon baking soda. I sent them over to my mom and her friends in Hong Kong and they loved it! They said they were way better than Goldilock’s.
I have been looking for the best recipe and I found yours. Thank you!
Lalaine says
March 21, 2015 at 2:21 pmHello Chelle
I’ve never tried macaroons with cheese but it sounds delicious. I am going to give a try, thanks for the tip 🙂
MArianne Sison says
November 25, 2014 at 7:47 pmCAN I USE MICROWAVE OVEN FOR BAKING THIS RECIPE?
Lalaine says
November 25, 2014 at 8:26 pmHi Marianne
I am sorry but I’ve never baked these macaroons in a microwave so I do not know if it will work and can’t recommend it.
Catherine says
November 25, 2014 at 7:01 pmHello Ms. Lalaine, I was wondering if you have tried adding grated cheese to your recipe or maybe a cheese coconut macaroon? Would really appreciate your response.
Catherine
Lalaine says
November 25, 2014 at 8:25 pmHi Catherine
I’ve never tried adding cheese but sounds delicious enough to try. Thanks 🙂
rea says
November 16, 2014 at 2:13 amHi! i hope you will answer this, what is your best investment for this lovely goods?
Lalaine says
November 16, 2014 at 9:46 amHello Rea
The recipe costs about $6 to make and yields 4 dozens. I would say $150 would be a good investment if you are starting small scale like selling to friends etc. The $150 will allow for muffin pans, cupcake liners, packaging and the ingredients. Hope this helps 🙂
teepee pascual says
November 2, 2014 at 1:18 amHi Ms. Lalaine! Thanks for this recipe, and all the while it’s a difficult one, well i still have to try it hehe…still can’t find dessicated coconut in our nearby supermarket, guess i need to go to a baking supply store. I really really wanted to make baking an enjoyable one for my daughter, and i hope by making one of her faves, i’m gonna lure her into my kitchen,hehe… More power! You’ve got so much followers and you really are a wonder and a blessing 🙂
Lalaine says
November 2, 2014 at 1:33 amAwww, you are making me 😳
Thanks, Teepee. I hope you enjoy your baking adventure with your daughter.
Maria Luisa De Leon says
November 1, 2014 at 5:43 amHi miss Lalaine thank you so much sa recipe. I baked 2 batches of macaroons yesterday i just add 1/8 tsp of salt for every recipe. Nagustuhan ng family ko ang daling naubos, I will make it again. Di na ako gumamit ng mixer. Ang daling gawin. God bless you always.
Lalaine says
November 1, 2014 at 6:46 pmHi Maria
What a great idea, I am sure the salt balanced the sweetness. I am going to try that next time. Thank you for trying the recipe and I am glad your family enjoyed the macaroons. Happy baking!
Myles says
October 31, 2014 at 6:58 amHi there!
Can I use 2 oz paper liners? wala po kasi akong mini muffin pan..and Same din po ba yung temp and cooking time?
thank you po..
maya says
October 28, 2014 at 11:16 pmhi, i would just like to ask kung ung nabibiling naka pack na desiccated coconut ang gagamitin or ung fresh?
thank you =)
Lalaine says
October 28, 2014 at 11:48 pmHi Maya
Yung naka-pack ang gagamitin 🙂
sherlyn says
October 23, 2014 at 10:46 pmOhmigod!! I love you!. I tried your recipe and wow oh wow! they all came out perfect and I enjoy making it. I actually made a test bake on oven toaster and it came out better than I expected..
thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful recipe!
Hoping to see/read more of your delicious recipe and more powers!
Lalaine says
October 23, 2014 at 11:59 pmAren’t they yummy? And super easy to make, too. Thank you so much for your comment, Sherlyn. You made my day 🙂
Rosalinda De Leon says
October 21, 2014 at 3:38 amAno po bang dapat ipihit kapag yung oven mo lang ay 250temperature insted na 350F sa oven.
Lalaine says
October 21, 2014 at 9:39 amHello Rosalinda
Please check if your oven is in Fahrenheit or Celsius. If it is in Celsius, eto ang simple conversion: 1 degree Celsius = 33.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Hope this helps. 🙂
pinky says
October 9, 2014 at 4:50 amWhat kind of flour do i have to use. All purpose or cake flour. Pls help
Lalaine says
October 9, 2014 at 8:50 amAll-purpose flour 🙂
mine says
October 8, 2014 at 2:58 amMiss can I ask if pwde pa rin ba syang gawin even if hndi oven ung gagamitin? Im just wondering. Thank you! 🙂
Lalaine says
October 30, 2014 at 8:44 amHello Mine
Unfortunately sa oven lang pwede kasi baked siya but I think one of our readers said she tried a small batch sa oven toaster and worked. 🙂
jin says
October 1, 2014 at 10:28 pmHi Lalaine,
I just want to thank you for this very simple yet very yummy recipe. I tried it once and shared it to my friends, and told them it was free taste/sample (i was kidding of course). Just the next day, i received my very first order of macaroons, and a couple more..and more.. and more 😀 It has been giving me extra income for quite sometime now. So i thought I should let you know.
Lalaine says
October 2, 2014 at 7:51 amHello Jin
What an awesome story! Thank you for sharing it with me. I am so glad the macaroons recipe became an extra source of income for you. I wish you more blessings. 🙂
claudia leliza says
February 16, 2015 at 12:24 amhi lalaine how many packs of dessicated cococnut did you use i your macarons????
Lalaine says
February 16, 2015 at 12:31 amHello Claudia
It’s 2 cups, 16 ounces total
Faith Tejero says
September 16, 2014 at 4:20 amGood Day!
I am newly wed. And your macaroon pinoy style recipe is the first recipe that I baked by myself. And I am so happy because I made one for my husband and he shared it with his co workers and they gave positive feedbacks!
He is a soldier so we are not together always. He texted me that my macaroons was a big hit among his coworkers and he is so proud of me! One also asked for the recipe so his wife can also bake.
Thank you Maam Lalaine.
PS it was also a big hit among my co teachers and it will be “mabili” with my kindergarten kids. I dont use the sugar though. I just use the condensed milk as the sweetener
.
Lalaine says
October 2, 2014 at 7:47 amHello Faith
I am glad nagustuhan nang hubby at students mo. Kahit ako, I bake them regularly at di nagsasawa mga bibinigyan ko. They always ask when I’ll bring more. 🙂
Mayette Rosales says
September 15, 2014 at 12:16 amHi Ms Lalaine,
Love this very much. Itatanong ko lang po sana, hanggang ilang days po ang tinatagal ng macaroons, pag po nasa ref at kung wala po sa ref. thank you po.
Lalaine says
September 15, 2014 at 5:21 amHello Mayerte
I would say good mga 3 days pag wala sa ref and mga 1 week pag refrigerated. I am glad you like them 🙂
Myra says
August 23, 2018 at 6:50 pmHi ms. Lalaine pwede po ba lutuin sa toster
Lalaine says
August 24, 2018 at 12:12 amI’ve never tried making this in a toaster. Does the toaster have heat settings?
marie hansen says
September 15, 2014 at 9:08 amhi lalaine I am from norway, this will be my first time to bake macaroons, but the thing is I can’t find condensed milk here in my place and I am a bit far from the city, is there any alternative for the condensed milk, thanks!
Lalaine says
October 2, 2014 at 7:44 amHi Marie
I’ve never tried making these macaroons without sweetened condensed milk. You might be able to search online for possible alternatives to it. I’m thinking evaporated milk might be a good substitute but the consistency might change.

Yes, pwede siyang refrigerate. Stir mo lang nang konti when ready to bake para ma-mix ingredients.

angeli tirol says
July 11, 2014 at 6:42 pmshould i put some yeast ?
Lalaine says
July 11, 2014 at 6:56 pmHi Angeli
No, you don’t add yeast. They don’t really rise so make sure to fill up your paper cups to almost full. 🙂
Cathy says
July 10, 2014 at 8:21 pmHi Lalaine
I’m so glad to have found your website. I have made this recipe twice and brought it to potlucks and each time, friends and family have foodgasm :). Of course, I shared your website. Thank you for the wonderful recipes, more power 🙂

Donna says
July 4, 2014 at 11:26 pmHi Lalaine ! I just tried your recipe 🙂 . I tweaked it a bit by lessening the condensed milk to 8 oz.. I only have a 200g pack of dehydrated desiccated coconut in my pantry so I used them all and just added extra eggwhites. It turned out great! the sweetness is just what I wanted 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Lalaine says
July 5, 2014 at 9:12 pmHello Donna
I am glad it worked for you 🙂
Dorothy says
June 11, 2014 at 11:29 pmUmm, Hi! I was planning on selling macaroons at my school (For an activity) and I found your recipe 🙂 it looks like it would really be delicious but, since I’m still a student and I don’t have much money, I was wondering if there would be any alternatives with the vanilla extract? Because vanilla extracts are quite pricey…
Lalaine says
June 11, 2014 at 11:50 pmHi Dorothy
You can replace it with equal amount of maple syrup 🙂
Dorothy says
June 12, 2014 at 7:00 amOh God! Thank you sooooooo muchhhhhhhh!!! Your a life saverrrr!! And a GREAT COOK!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! 😀 😀 😀 <3

Lalaine says
May 25, 2014 at 1:13 pmHi Catherine
The macaroons will last in the refrigerated for about 3 to 4 days. Enjoy! 🙂
Catherine says

Celebes Desiccated Coconut says
May 14, 2014 at 11:09 pmGreat post. Makes my mouth water!!! 🙂 Certainly it is delicious with desiccated coconut ingredients on it!
Jasmin says
May 5, 2014 at 4:41 amThank you Lalaine!
I’m going to try and find desiccated first, does the recipe call for sweetened or unsweetened?
Can’t wait, these are my absolute favourite 🙂
Lalaine says
May 5, 2014 at 8:45 amI use unsweetened.
Jasmin says
May 5, 2014 at 9:31 amMiss Lalaine!
Salamat sa recipe, I just finished a batch and can’t stop eating them myself 🙂 hehehe.
Lalaine says
May 6, 2014 at 11:44 pmYou’re welcome 🙂
Jasmin says
May 3, 2014 at 6:48 pmHi Lalaine,
For the coconut, can I use frozen shredded coconut and dry it?
Love macaroons and can’t wait to try them.
Lalaine says
May 4, 2014 at 1:23 amHello Jasmin
I’ve never tried this but I can’t see why it won’t work. Please let me know how it turns out 🙂
Rey says
April 18, 2014 at 6:19 pmMy God.. i tried to find the right recipe for this. This macaroons are very addicting indeed. Thank you very much for this Lalaine…You’re amazing..You give me so much joy upon finding your site..
Lalaine says
April 18, 2014 at 11:12 pmHello Rey
Thank you so much. I am glad you enjoyed the macaroons. They really are addicting. I bring them to work and they’re gone in a jiffy. 🙂
liza says
April 17, 2014 at 6:38 amIs it possible to bake the macarons without the macaroon molder? I mean directly to the paper cups?
Lalaine says
May 5, 2014 at 8:44 amHello Liza
I am not sure if paper baking cups are sturdy enough to hold the mixture together while baking but if you can ones that are made with foil, those might work without the muffin pan.
Amy says
April 8, 2014 at 5:14 amHi, pede po ba cyang lutuin sa microwave? Sira kasi yung oven?
Lalaine says
April 13, 2014 at 3:11 pmHi Amy
Hindi ko pa nasubukan sa microwave so I am not sure kung pwede. I am sorry.
Ness says
April 1, 2014 at 4:05 amHi Lalaine! I don’t have cooking and baking skills until I stumbled upon your recipes here on Kawaling Pinoy site. I finally had the guts to be proud of my baked treats on Christmas day 2013. And what I made was your Coconut Macaroons recipe, and you were right, these macaroons are always a hit! Now I even get extra income selling them with my office mates, family and friends! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Lalaine says
April 1, 2014 at 10:58 amHi Ness
Your comment gave me so much joy. I am so glad that you are finding Kawaling Pinoy of great help with your everyday meals and that you are able to make a little bit of extra income with one of the recipes. Yay! Thank you, thank you for the feedback.
May I suggest mini eggpies as another item you can try? I used to sell these pies and they were very popular. Here is the recipe http://www.kawalingpinoy.com/2013/11/mini-eggpies/
Ness says
April 4, 2014 at 4:32 pmThank you Lalaine! Yes, I was checking out that recipe too. I’ll share again with you my experience on baking your Mini Egg Pies recipe. 🙂

March 2, 2014 at 12:28 pmHi Lalaine,
I just would like to thank you for this recipe. I tried it at home and it was a huge hit. I posted my kitchen experiment on my blog.
Lalaine says
March 3, 2014 at 9:57 amHI Danie
Thank you so much. These macaroons are always a hit in every gathering I bring them. Glad your kids had fun making them 🙂
joyce says
January 24, 2014 at 7:25 pmI’d like to try it,and I have one more question, regarding with the egg,,should I separate the egg whites to egg yolks?
Lalaine says
January 25, 2014 at 12:52 amHello Joyce
You use the whole egg.
febski says
December 16, 2013 at 5:27 pmThank u for the macaroons recipe this would be my first time baking for my daughter christmas party in school.
Lalaine says
January 25, 2014 at 12:51 amHope the kids enjoy them 🙂
Clara says
December 10, 2013 at 8:20 pmI made this today and OMG!!!! It’s soooo good. Thanks for the recipe.
Only one question, how one mine didn’t rise like yours?
Lalaine says
December 11, 2013 at 8:16 pmHi Clara
I am glad you enjoyed the macaroons.
I don’t think mine did either. I just filled the cups to almost full that’s why they look like they did.
Luanne says
February 18, 2014 at 3:30 pmThe recipe does not call for baking powder that’s why it will not rise. Fill the liner full when making these.
Lalaine says
February 20, 2014 at 3:11 amThanks, Luanne 🙂
Marla Twort says
November 13, 2013 at 12:20 pmFirst time I baked this was on my birthday – I am baking this again for a Bake Sale at Work tomorrow. Thank you!
