Ingredients

  • 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips for dipping

Directions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, coconut extract, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

  3. Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture until evenly combined.

  5. Scoop Macaroons: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop mounds of mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

  6. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

  7. Cool: Allow macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. Optional Chocolate Dip: Melt chocolate chips and dip the bottoms of cooled macaroons for a decadent touch. Let chocolate set before serving.
