Caramel macaroons are a delightful variation of the classic macaroon cookie, incorporating caramel flavor into the recipe. They typically feature ingredients such as shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce or caramel extract, and sometimes flour or egg whites to bind the mixture together. These ingredients are mixed to form a sticky dough, which is then portioned into small mounds or rounds and baked until golden brown. The end result is a sweet and chewy treat with a rich caramel flavor, often complemented by the coconut’s nutty taste. Caramel macaroons are enjoyed as a delicious dessert or snack, perfect for those who love the combination of caramel and coconut flavors.
