Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Almond extract
- 1 cup Chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy but not stiff. Add the vanilla extract and almond extract to the egg whites and stir to combine.
Pour the egg white mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until the mixture is evenly moistened. The batter should hold together when scooped or pressed.
Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks until evenly incorporated.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the batter and place onto the lined baking sheets, spacing each macaroon about 1 inch apart to allow for slight spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly glossy.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the macaroons cool on the sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the chocolate almond macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
