Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each macaroon.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the macaroons cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Once the macaroons are cool, dip the bottoms or drizzle the melted chocolate over the macaroons.
- Place the dipped macaroons back on the parchment paper and let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a drop of almond extract.
- Store macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- If you prefer, you can use dark chocolate or milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
