Filipino Coconut Macaroons
There are some sweets that I don’t make on monthly basis, but there are some sweets that I love to include on my menu on monthly basis like Filipino Coconut Macaroons.
Filipino Coconut Macaroons is one of the snacks I grew up with. It is sweet, chewy on the inside but crisp outside. It is a kind of snack that I am sure coconut lovers would love so much! They come in minis but huge on flavor.
These tiny coconut macaroons is one of the sweets I usually make when my friends come over. I pack them in transparent pouches and seal it with ribbon – it looks so cute!
I only get them before from the bakeries and now I am happy that I’m able to enjoy them anytime. Thanks to Lalaine for the inspiration.
I don’t usually find them with raisins, but the ones my late mom liked and used to bring home was with raisins. I kinda used to the feeling that Filipino Coconut Macaroons is not complete without raisins.
I’ve shared a recipe video on my YouTube channel. I hope you can check it out. If you like this recipe and video, please don’t forget to like, share and subscribe.

These look irresistible Jhuls! I am with you on the mini muffins…but then what if we can’t stop eating them? LOL! I am definitely going to try these …pinning it right now! and like you will now have a reason to buy mini muffin pans! 🙂
Jhuls
That’s the problem – we can’t stop eating them. 😀
And go get your muffin pan. 😀 Let me know how it turns out for you.

Ala
ohh, I love this post in so many ways! And did I tell you how absolutely LOVELY your engagement with your readers and blogging community is? It makes my heart leap with joy to see all your lovely replies and ability to reach out to folks every week. I can see why you’re beloved 🙂 this recipe is awesome–I was just telling my Filipino friend that I’ve never had real Filipino food (maybe besides lumpias) and that I’ve been dying to try some. This would be so perfect–it’d be like a recipe exchange, too! You can grab some red velvet, I’ll stuff my face with coconut macaroons 😀 thanks for sharing this, it’s always swell to catch up with your blog!
Jhuls
Aww! Thank you so much for this wonderful message, Ala! I think I will be smiling while I’m sleeping. 😀 I appreciate every single word. Did your friend tell you how good these coconut macaroons are? 🙂
I appreciate you stopping by, Ala! Glad that I subscribed to your site – I saw those red velvet immediately! 😀 I hope you could join us during Fiesta Fridays. 😉

These look AMAZING. Yum! I’ve always been intrigued by macaroons (as opposed to French macarons) as I’ve never eaten one, but you’ve completely convinced me that I need to! xx
Jhuls
If you love coconut, Laura, I guarantee you that you will love these!! 😀
Well, in case you’re going to try… I would love to know what you think. Hope you have a wonderful day/night!

These are such RICH yummy sweet treats! I will try an eggless version of it. I have used coconut with cocoa in cupcakes, but these look even better!
Jhuls

Thank you for your interest in making these. Wishing you a pleasant day!

Yes, we do like our mini treats – I like reasons to buy new “kitchen toys”. Bite me – too funny – I could eat a couple of those mini macaroons 🙂
Jhuls
We really need reasons to buy out kitchen toys – you know, to justify them. 😀 Thank you for the visit, Aunt Juju! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! 🙂

I LOVE coconut! and adore the texture of macaroons. And of course a mini muffin pan is a must. 😀 Happy Fiesta Friday!
Jhuls
I am glad that you can relate with me on how important the mini pan is. 😀 Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a lovely weekend and happy FF. 🙂
Elaine @ foodbod

One of these equals to one bite. 😀 Thank you, Elaine! Have a fab weekend to you! <3

And you honey xx
milkandbun
Oh Jhuls! You knew that everybody likes small desserts and brought these awesome macaroons!
And just a small note- I’d like to have some extra condensed milk on top! 😀 Yummy!
Jhuls
Haha! I know not how to please FF people. 😀 I might bring small treats frequently.
And for you, of course, I’d love to put extra condensed milk on top. 😉 Enjoy and have a fab weekend!
Loretta
Wow Jhuls! This looks like it would be just up my alley, and since they are miniatures, I would probably have a tendency to devour them all in one sitting. Macaroons are my weakness, but hey it’s the weekend, and I’m allowed to splurge :).
Jhuls
Haha! IKR? You wouldn’t notice how many of these you ate ‘coz they are miniatures. And yes, we are allowed to indulge during weekends! 😀
Enjoy FF and happy weekend!

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa…………. these look SO SO good……..I just stared at those pictures for a good five minutes at least…. that “bite me!” line was the last straw though I wanted to just grab one! Thanks for sharing, I’m going to have to remember this one!
Jhuls
That ‘BITE ME’ photo is so enticing, Steph! 😉 Thank you for coming over!
Michelle
It’s been sooo long since I had macaroons, I think this post is gonna change that soon! They’re so adorable and mini, I love everything mini. It means you can eat twice as much and not feel bad about it! Plus, look how cute! I always look forward to your fiesta friday posts, have a great weekend Jhuls xx
Jhuls
Aww! Thank you, Michelle! Please let me know if you make this. 😉

Jhuls Jhuls Jhuls….oh you see I woke up bleary eyed this morning to see your naughty little comments on the FF page and well as you know I am co-hosting so have a little leverage for crowd control, taking those naughty ones in hand. Though you have cooked what looks like the most delicious macaroons which I have re-blogged btw to my scrapbook I think your little teasing indiscretions should not go amiss and as such I think to prove whether I am right or not that you should come to the party and take the ‘naughty test’ yes that is right jhuls, let’s see if you really are naughty, we would all love to hear the results:
http://www.quibblo.com/quiz/1dRHvCw/The-NAUGHTY-or-NICE-test

Tadaahh..drum roll and awaits results!
Happy partying jhuls xx
Jhuls
Wohoo! I am NICE, Justine! Here’s the result: ‘You’re sweet, loving, bubbly like sugar. You have an innocence about you that is as golden as heaven.’ Do you agree? Haha! So this is like a ‘gate pass’ now, eh? But I could come in now… 😀
eclecticoddsnsods
oh you can definitely come then, actually maybe you should be naughty to come and spice up the party but it seems you are fairy nice! hehe….maybe I should do the test…runs! xx
Jhuls
Yay! Share the results immediately! 😀
eclecticoddsnsods

Jhuls
Thank you so much, my dear Selma! You made me the happiest today! I couldn’t wait to see your post. I am delighted that you loved them, and Jake, too! 🙂

emmasouthlondon
Jhuls,
You are right – I’m relatively new to the Fiesta, but have so enjoyed meeting everyone and the support and advice that they give.
Thank you for co-hosting last week 🙂
Your macaroons look so perfect – I will have to try them just to see if mine come out anything near as well!
Enjoy the Fiesta!

I would love to know how it turns out for you, Emma! 🙂 Thanks for coming over.

Baking With Gab
The Friday Fiesta sounds so cute! And these little macaroons look delicious and moist. I’m a sucker for anything with sweetened condensed milk in it!
Jhuls
I hope you join us, Gab, and meet new lovely friends! It’s really fun! 🙂 Thank you for coming over. I hope to see you today at FF? 😀
Baking With Gab
I LOVE the sound of it! Once I’m settled in (and get my head around the rules) I may just join you guys!
Jhuls
The guidelines are very simple, Gab! I think Norman can do the post himself! 😀

I think the photo speaks to me, Lori! 😀
Happy FF18 and it’s nice to see you here. <3 Hugs back to you!

Hey- Did you see my post (before the fiesta friday post) about the loyalty award…I have some funny things on there that I think will crack you up! 🙂

Oh! Haven’t been to WP since last night. I’m off to check it out. 😉

Cool! You will laugh! 🙂

Never tasted tis. Looks delicious
Jhuls
Thank you so much! These are really delicious! Hope you could try this one day. 😉 Happy FF18!
The Novice Gardener
They look and sound so yummy, Jhuls! Are these similar to Joicemae’s custaroons?
Jhuls
Thank you, Angie! I don’t so. I think her custaroons are more moist. She said if I love these coconut macaroons, I’ll love the custaroons more, which I think she’s 100% right. 😀 Custaroons are like custard+coconut macaroons together, so I bet I will drool over them. I will make them soon! 🙂
Hope you are doing great, Angie! And have a happy fiesta! Sending hugs and love to you…

Ugh! I haven’t seen this earlier! Anyway, I’m the second (I think). 😀

These coconut macaroons are truly addicting! Like you, I couldn’t help myself from eating quite a few while taking photos 🙂 Thanks for the mention. 🙂

Hi, Lalaine! I am glad that you came by. You have so many amazing recipes on Kawaling Pinoy and this is just one of them! Thank you for sharing! Have a wonderful Friday and happy weekend! 🙂
