Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Almond extract
- 14 oz Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 12 oz Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp Coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir until well blended.
Step 3
Add the shredded coconut and all-purpose flour to the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly until the coconut is evenly coated, forming a sticky dough.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Leave about 1-2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 5
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the macaroons are golden brown. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the pans.
Step 6
While the cookies cool, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. If needed, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to thin the melted chocolate.
Step 7
Once the macaroons are completely cool, dip the bottoms of each cookie into the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheets. Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the tops for a decorative touch.
Step 8
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Step 9
Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
