Step 1: Preheat the Oven. Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Step 2: Prepare the Baking Sheet. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, cornstarch, and confectioners sugar. Stir until well mixed.
Step 4: Add the Wet Ingredients. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
Step 5: Shape the Macaroons. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 6: Bake. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 7: Cool. Remove the macaroons from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy! These Cocadas are perfect served at room temperature or dipped in chocolate.
