Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, granulated sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Stir occasionally until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for 1 minute while stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 5
Add the rolled oats and shredded coconut to the saucepan. Mix well until everything is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly if desired for a more cookie-like appearance.
Step 7
Allow the macaroons to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes for a quicker set time.
Step 8
Once set, store the chocolate drops in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
