Easy Chocolate Dipped Macaroons Recipe

These macaroons feature a sweet coconut base that is baked to golden perfection and then dipped in smooth chocolate for a decadent finish. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields approximately 12 macaroons.

Ingredients

2 2/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Shape the Macaroons: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into small mounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
Dip the Macaroons: Once the macaroons are cool, dip the bottoms into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the parchment paper to set.
Let Set: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting. Serve and enjoy!
