Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4.5 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 12.5 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 6 tbsp egg whites about 3 large egg whites
- 0.125 tsp fine salt
- 6 oz semisweet chocolate chips for dipping or drizzling
- 1 tsp coconut oil optional, helps chocolate melt smoothly
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Stir coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla in a bowl until evenly moistened.
- Whip egg whites with salt to medium peaks using a mixer or whisk.
- Fold the whipped whites into the coconut mixture until just combined.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of batter onto sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart.
- Bake 18–22 minutes, rotating pans halfway, until edges are golden and tops set.
- Cool 5 minutes on the pan, then move macaroons to a rack to cool completely.
- Melt chocolate with coconut oil in 20–30 second microwave bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip bottoms in chocolate or drizzle over tops. Set on parchment and chill to firm.
Notes
Try swapping half the vanilla for almond extract, or sprinkle with toasted almonds before the chocolate sets. Store airtight at room temperature for 4–5 days, or freeze up to 2 months; thaw uncovered to keep the edges crisp.
