Classic and timeless chocolate coconut macaroons – these cookies have been around long enough to pass the test of time and get the approval of taste-testers everywhere! These light and delicate coconut creations are simple to make and simply delicious! If you don’t already love these cookies, you’ll fall in love with them after your first bite.

My easy, no-fail recipe is actually pretty basic. This recipe literally requires just 6 ingredients, including the chocolate. I use fluffy egg whites, which is what gives these cookies their volume. They’re sweetened with sweetened condensed milk, which gives them that slightly chewy texture once they’re baked. Once the macaroons are cooled, I like to dip them into melted chocolate. The chocolate enrobes the cookies, making them not only look incredible, but also makes them even more delicious. You can also try dipping the bottom of the cookies into chocolate, then drizzle the top with more melted chocolate. If you haven’t tried chocolate coconut macaroons, what are you waiting for?

Watch my video recipe for step-by-step instructions!

You can also enjoy these without chocolate, but I highly recommend adding it! Who doesn’t love chocolate?!

Ingredients

4 cups (300g) unsweetened coconut flakes
1 cup (306g) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
pinch of salt
3 large egg whites
2 cups (360g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 330F. Each oven bakes differently. When baking, if you notice that your cookies are turning too dark, turn oven temperature down to 320F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk with coconut, vanilla and salt. If you want your macaroons to be sweeter, use sweetened coconut flakes. Stir to coat coconut evenly.
Place egg whites into mixer bowl and whisk until medium peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into coconut mixture, doing so in small batches. You want to keep the egg whites as fluffy as possible.
Spoon cookie batter into large heaps on prepared baking sheet. Can make small or large macaroons; larger ones will need to bake longer.
Bake in preheated oven for 28-30 minutes. The center needs to be set and the cookies should be golden all over. They will be slightly soft to touch but shouldn't be soggy. Remove cookies from oven and let cool on parchment paper; can transfer cookies still on paper to cooling rack to cool faster.
Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips either in double boiler or in microwave. If chocolate is not as smooth as you would like it to be, add 1/2 teaspoon of shortening. Dip warm or cooled cookies into chocolate and tap off any excess chocolate. Set back onto paper to set completely. Alternatively, place the melted chocolate into a disposable pastry bag or ziploc bag and drizzle just the tops of the cookies in chocolate. Keep in airtight container when chocolate sets.

This recipe was so perfect! normally recipes just have egg whites, but the condensed milk definitely made it so much better! I loved this recipe!

Make bigger ones if you love the chew of coconut, smaller or just flatter ones for the people who like the crisp outer bits like I do

Thanks for the recipe…..these cookies look so delicious.
Can you make some more Ukrainian recipes………I miss my Mom’s and family recipes. I was going to go to Kiev for the first time to visit some relatives whom I’ve never met and thought maybe I can get some recipes that my Grandma grew up with….but with the issues going on there I’m afraid I won’t go this year.
Thanks…

  I hope you get the chance to go! 🙂 I have grandparents in Ukraine, too. If you go under cuisines in my recipes, I have a whole section of Eastern European recipes: cakes, cookies, main dishes.

I have sweetened coconut flakes. Will that work, or will the macaroons be too sweet?

  It will work with sweetened coconut flakes but the cookies will be sweeter. They will still taste great! I don’t like mine too sweet but everyone has their preferences 🙂

Hello Tatyana, I was just wondering how long can you store them for?

  These should last for at least a week, as long as you store them in an airtight container 🙂
