Easy Coconut Macaroons

This is really a very easy recipe.  DONT use skim milk condensed milk, and make sure the oven has been preheated at 200 degrees Celsius before baking.  Another hint I found useful, was to use coconut that is not too fine.  The mixture should not have a runny consistency, it should be firm and easy to work with.  Let's bake.

What you need:

397g can full cream sweetened condensed milk
200g - 240g (2-1/2 to 3 cups) desiccated coconut
5ml (1 tsp) vanilla essence
pinch of salt
halved glace cherries to decorate

1.  Combine all ingredients, except cherries, mix well.
2.  Grease a baking tray well.
3.  Place spoonfuls of mixture on tray, top with half a cherry.
4.  Bake in preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 to 12 minutes, or until light brown.
5.  WATCH AS THEY BURN EASILY.

Makes 24 to 30
