macaroon cookies

Classic coconut macaroons are for true coconut lovers! With chewy middles and crisp outsides, these hand-held treats are irresistibly delicious.

Coconut Macaroons

(180 grams) sweetened coconut flakes (Note 1)

½ cups (180 grams) unsweetened coconut flakes (Note 2)

(160 grams) sweetened condensed milk

(70 grams) large egg whites

coconut extract

salt

(140 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Place both the sweetened and unsweetened coconut flakes into a food processor and pulse a few times to chop the flakes into a coarse mixture.

In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, egg whites, coconut extract and salt.

Add the coconut and mix well with a silicone spatula.

Using a medium cookie scoop, drop 1.5 tablespoons of batter on the prepared baking sheet spacing them at least an inch apart. With wet hands, squeeze the cookies lightly to shape them into neat balls.

Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes, or until they are light golden brown.

Cool the cookies on the baking sheet until set, about 2 minutes. Then transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

To make the macaroons:

Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe silicone bowl. Microwave for 1 minute at 50% power, stir well and continue to microwave in 15-second increments, stirring well in between, until the chocolate is completely melted.

To melt the chocolate:

Dip the cooled macaroons into the melted chocolate ½-inch up the sides. Shake off any excess chocolate and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Let the chocolate set before serving.

Easy Coconut Macaroons with Condensed Milk + Video

sweetened coconut flakes (1 14-ounce bag)

semi-sweet chocolate (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat Mat.

In a medium bowl combine add coconut. Then pour condensed milk over top. Mix with a spoon until the coconut and milk are completely mixed and all of the milk combines with the coconut.

Use a 1 tablespoon scooper. Scoop and then press the mixture into the scooper to make sure you get a well packed scoop. Place them on the baking pan about a finger apart. They will not spread so you can place them pretty close together.

Bake until the tops are golden brown, about 14-16 minutes. If the tops are not perfectly browned but the bottoms are, you can turn the broiler on and broil until the tops are perfectly browned, about 1-3 minutes.

*Do not walk away when broiling, you can go from golden brown to crispy in a flash.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes, if you can wait that long.

Serve and enjoy!

I added crushed peppermint candies for a peppermint flavor for the holidays. They were delicious!
