Ingredients

• 300 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
• 200 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs Egg whites
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 100 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form.

Step 4

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until just combined.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges and tops are golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the macaroons from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the macaroons cool, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth.

Step 9

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons using a spoon or piping bag. Alternatively, dip the tops of the macaroons into the melted chocolate.

Step 10

Place the macaroons on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until the chocolate sets.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
