Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Mix until the coconut is evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites, salt, and instant coffee granules until the coffee granules are dissolved and the mixture is frothy but not stiff.
Add the frothy egg white mixture and vanilla extract to the coconut mixture, folding gently until everything is well combined.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each mound.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges of the macaroons are golden brown and the tops are lightly toasted.
Remove the macaroons from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
If desired, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons using a spoon or piping bag.
Let the chocolate set for 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Gluten Free Coffee Macaroons!
