Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut (about 240 grams)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (approx. 14 oz / 396 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 4 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate (for melting and drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk in a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Use a rubber spatula to mix gently until every shred is coated and the mixture looks sticky and glossy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Scoop the mixture into small mounds on the baking sheet using a tablespoon measure, spacing them about 1 inch apart. You should get roughly 18-20 cookies.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft and chewy. Avoid overbaking.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to set.
- Melt the chocolate using a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts or over a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons using a spoon or fork. Optionally, dip the bottoms for a richer bite.
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to speed up setting.
- Serve and enjoy! Best within a couple of days but can be stored as described.
Notes
Do not overbake to keep centers chewy. Use sweetened shredded coconut for classic flavor and texture. Let batter rest 5 minutes before scooping for better chewiness. Chocolate drizzle can be thickened by dipping macaroons instead of drizzling. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
