If you like coconut, these bars are very easy to make and tasty! It doesn't get any easier than this. Feel free to use pecans in place of walnuts, if you like. Also, try tinting the remaining coconut with food coloring prior to sprinkling. Pastel colors make a pretty presentation for Easter! Enjoy!

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pkg white cake mix
1/2 c butter (softened)
2 large eggs
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
1 tsp almond extract (pure, not flavoring)
1 1/2 c flaked coconut
1 c walnuts (chopped)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9x13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • 2. Mix together cake mix, butter and 1 egg. Spread and press into bottom of pan.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, mix together sweetened condensed milk, almond extract and 1 egg. Stir in 1 cup of the coconut and walnuts. Pour and spread mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle remaining coconut (1/2 cup) over top.
  • 4. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before slicing into bars.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your macaroon cookie bars. Use real butter, not margarine, and use pure vanilla extract, not imitation.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking macaroon cookie bars is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and be dry.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. The cookies are done when they are golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Macaroon cookie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday party. With a few simple tips, you can make macaroon cookie bars that are sure to impress your friends and family.
