These homey fashion Greek Coconut Macaroons (Indokarida) belong to my favourites. This recipe is so easy to make, plus it is made with brown sugar. They are homemade, which means they are easy, quick and on a budget! You can enjoy them with your coffee, tea or milk. They are also a perfect sweet treat to offer to your guests.
Right as they get out of the oven, they are crunchy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside. They loose their crispiness the more they sit. I recommend to prepare them in the morning, so they won't make it till the night.
I' ve chosen brown sugar for this recipe, but other types of sugar will work too.
Store them in an airtight container, when they are completely cool.
