Ingredients
  

For the Macaroons
  • 14 oz shredded sweetened coconut
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk one can
  • 2 large egg whites whisked until frothy
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for dipping

Equipment

  • 2 Baking Sheets
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Cookie Scoop 1.5-tablespoon size recommended
  • 1 Wire Cooling Rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture until just combined.
  4. Use a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop to drop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges and tops are golden brown.
  6. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Dip the bottom of each macaroon into the melted chocolate.
  8. Place the dipped macaroons on the parchment paper and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip 1: Do not overmix the batter after adding the egg whites to prevent the macaroons from spreading.
Tip 2: Ensure the macaroons are fully cooled before dipping in chocolate for a clean, firm coating.
Tip 3: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
