Coconut Macroons from Cake Mix

By MJH

Ingredients

• 1 box (16 ounces) angel food cake mix
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 bag (14 ounces) sweetened coconut flakes
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds, minced

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.

Mix on medium speed for about 3 minutes the cake mix, water and almond extract. Slowly mix in coconut and almonds.

Scoop in 2 tablespoons at a time and drop onto baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

Bake at top of oven for 20 to 22 minutes, until very lightly browned.

Cool for a few minutes before removing from baking sheets. (NOTE: For a prettier look, cut the cookies with a round biscuit cutter to trim off browned edges.)
