Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups (10 oz/300 g) shredded sweetened coconut
- 7 ounces (225 g) sweetened condensed milk (about 1/2 of a 14-ounce can)
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1/2 cup (3 oz/90 g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet, dark, or white chocolate can be used)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded sweetened coconut with exactly 7 ounces of sweetened condensed milk. Mix thoroughly to ensure the coconut is evenly coated.
- Scoop Cookies: Using a tablespoon-sized cookie dough scoop, scoop out the coconut mixture. Pack each scoop lightly without overloading and drop onto the prepared baking sheet spaced evenly apart.
- Bake: Bake the macaroons for 15 minutes or until they are lightly browned around the edges. Remove them from the oven but leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to allow them to set properly.
- Melt Chocolate: While the cookies set, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, stir vigorously, then continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer the melted chocolate into a sandwich-sized plastic zip bag, cut a tiny corner off the bag, and drizzle the chocolate over the cooled macaroons evenly.
- Serve and Store: Allow the chocolate to set before serving. Store the macaroons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Do not exceed 7 ounces of sweetened condensed milk, as extra liquid will cause the cookies to melt and lose shape.
- Weigh the condensed milk precisely for best texture and consistency.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate or dark chocolate according to your preference.
- Store coconut macaroons in an airtight container in the fridge; they will keep fresh for up to two weeks.
