Ingredients
Scale
Macaroon Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups (10 oz/300 g) sweetened shredded coconut
- 7 ounces (225 g) sweetened condensed milk (half of a 14 ounce can)
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1/2 cup (3 oz/90 g) chocolate chips
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 sweetened shredded coconut with exactly 7 ounces of sweetened condensed milk. Be careful not to add more to avoid the cookies melting during baking.
- Form Cookies: Use a tablespoon-sized cookie dough scoop to portion out the coconut mixture. Pack it lightly into the scoop without overloading and drop each portion onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 15 minutes until they are lightly browned on the edges. Remove from oven and allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set properly.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips by heating for 30 seconds and stirring vigorously. Continue heating in 15-second intervals, stirring each time until fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Spoon 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 in a decorative pattern.
Notes
- Resist the urge to use more than 7 ounces of sweetened condensed milk as cookies will melt during baking.
- Weigh out the sweetened condensed milk precisely for the best results.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with white or dark chocolate for different flavors.
- Coconut macaroons can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
