  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Spoon or ice cream scoop
  • Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
  • wire rack

Ingredients
  

For the Macaroons

For the Chocolate Dip

  • 8 ounces chocolate (semisweet or dark) can use milk chocolate for sweetness or dark chocolate for complexity

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Gather all your ingredients and equipment, including a mixing bowl and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.
  • Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop mounds of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until edges are golden brown, keeping centers soft and chewy.
  • Allow to cool completely on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  • Dip the bottoms of the cooled macaroons into the melted chocolate and drizzle extra over the tops for decoration.
  • Place macaroons on parchment paper and let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate to quicken the process.

Notes

These macaroons can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, or frozen for up to 3 months. Taste best at room temperature after thawing.
