Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 100 grams Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut and granulated sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until slightly frothy.
Pour the egg white mixture into the coconut and sugar mixture, stirring until well combined.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Polka Dot Macaroons, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
