Description

These Coconut Macaroons are soft, chewy, and full of rich coconut flavor. Made with just a few simple ingredients, they’re naturally gluten-free and easy to make. Dip them in chocolate for an extra indulgent touch!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (for dipping or drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Mix the Base:

    • In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is fully coated.
  3. Whip the Egg Whites:

    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until fully combined.
  4. Shape the Macaroons:

    • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  5. Bake:

    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops and edges are golden brown.
    • Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Optional Chocolate Dipping:

    • Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
    • Dip the bottoms of cooled macaroons into the melted chocolate or drizzle chocolate over the tops.
    • Place on parchment paper until the chocolate sets.



Notes

  • Add a teaspoon of almond extract for a nutty flavor twist.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Use unsweetened coconut if you prefer a less sweet version—just increase the condensed milk slightly for moisture.
