Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir until well blended.
Add the shredded coconut and all-purpose flour to the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly until the coconut is evenly coated, forming a sticky dough.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
