Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these sweet delights:
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts)
Instructions
Now, let’s get started with the preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, flour, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- If you’re adding nuts, fold them into your mixture now.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- While the macaroons are baking, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
- Once the macaroons are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Dip the bottoms of each macaroon into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
- Place the chocolate-dipped macaroons back on the parchment paper and let them cool completely until the chocolate sets.
Enjoy your homemade Choconut Macaroons with a cup of tea or coffee, or serve them at your next gathering for a guaranteed hit among your friends and family!
