    Pumpkin Spice Coconut Macaroon Cookies Recipe - coconut macaroons with real pumpkin and spices! Perfect sweet treat for the holidays!

    Pumpkin Spice Coconut Macaroons on a plate.

    It's the Pumpkin Everything season! 😀 It's in coffee, cakes, muffins, even pasta dishes! No wonder it is fall's favorite flavor.

    Now add these Coconut Macaroon Cookies to the mix. They are chewy, sweet and taste like pumpkin pie with coconut. So good! They are fast and easy to make, with only a handful of ingredients required. Pumpkin and coconut might seem like a strange combo but it totally works in these macaroons. If these classic coconut cookies happen to be your favorite, I hope you will love this fall version with real pumpkin and warm spices.

    For these coconut macaroons, I used the sweetened condensed milk version. The classic calls for egg whites and sugar, and while I still love it, I think this recipe is easier. I also added flour to keep the cookies from spreading, especially since I am using real pumpkin puree in the mix. These cookies don't spread so you can bake a dozen on a sheet at a time. I dipped half of the batch in melted semi-sweet chocolate for the chocolate lovers. Both versions were fantastic!

    These cookies are great to share with friends and family, since this recipe makes 3 dozen. Thanks to the pumpkin puree and condensed milk, they are soft and chewy (not crispy at all). Just sweet little mounds with the taste of pumpkin pie.

      I just finished making these and I love how hey fit right in with the fall theme.. They turned out perfectly!.. I also drizzled some melted semi-sweet chocolate on top to add some real "curb appeal" but the flavours of this simple recipe don't even need anything extra.. they speak for themselves!

        When do you add pumpkin puree? It doesn't mention adding that ingredient in any of the steps.
