Oh, how I do love my tea time. I am in constant search of lovely cookie recipes to accompany it and these are perfect (aren't all cookies perfect?). These macaroon bars are so easy to bake you will be amazed! You can assemble them in minutes but be careful, they are addicting! The secret is refrigerated crescent rolls you purchase at the market. Shhhh...no one will guess you haven't spent hours in the kitchen. ;)
Ingredients:
3-1/4 cups flaked coconut, divided
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
Sprinkle 1-1/2 cups coconut into a well greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Combine milk and extract; drizzle half over the coconut. Unroll crescent dough, arrange in a single layer over coconut. Drizzle with remaining milk mixture and sprinkle with remaining coconut.
Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting. Store in the refrigerator.
This recipe claims to make 3 dozen but...well, perhaps my bars are just a tad larger than the norm. ;)

I love tea time dear and these sounds fantastic! gloria
I think I would be in danger of eating the whole pan before my guests arrived. Speaking of which, I think having afternoon tea would be so fun. I think my step-daughter and I will have to make this recipe and treat all of her Barbies this weekend. Thanks for sharing this easy recipe!
Yes, eating the whole tray IS a hazard! ;) These bars also freeze well so I like to wrap them individually in saran wrap and tuck away for future teas also. Enjoy!
Bonjour Laura,
I love tea time as well, it always feels like a luxury. These macarons sound heavenly, the perfect treat.
Wish me luck on not eating the whole thing.
Good week to you,
Mimi
