Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.33 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute while continuing to stir.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Add the quick-cooking oats and shredded sweetened coconut to the saucepan. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly if desired.
Let the macaroons cool at room temperature for 30 minutes or until set. For quicker setting, refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Once set, gently remove the macaroons from the parchment paper and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
