Ingredients
Scale
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3 1/2 cups shredded, sweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- Pinch of salt
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip the bottom half of each cooled macaroon into the melted chocolate.
- Place the dipped macaroons back onto the parchment paper.
- Let the chocolate set completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- For a crispier exterior, toast the coconut slightly before mixing, if desired.
- If you prefer milk or dark chocolate, substitute the semi-sweet chips.
- Store cooled macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
