Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
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.
Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for 1 minute while stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Add the rolled oats and shredded coconut to the saucepan. Mix well until everything is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
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.
Allow the macaroons to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes for a quicker set time.
Once set, store the chocolate drops in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
