A straightforward recipe for making chewy coconut macaroons with a crisp exterior, finished with a simple dark chocolate drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups sweetened flaked coconut
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir in the flaked coconut until everything is combined.
  3. In a separate, clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture in three additions until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming mounds. You can use a small cookie scoop for uniform size.
  6. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Remove the macaroons from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before moving them.
  8. Prepare the drizzle: Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth.
  9. Transfer the melted chocolate to a small plastic bag, snip a tiny corner off the bag, or use a fork. Drizzle the melted chocolate back and forth over the cooled macaroons.
  10. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use sweetened coconut for the best moisture and binding. Unsweetened coconut requires adding a bit more sweetener to the mixture.
  • For a chewier center, slightly underbake them by one minute.
  • If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, use bittersweet chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
  • Store macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
