Coconut Macaroon Recipe

The flavors of chocolate and coconut combine together in perfect unison.
These cookies are so easy to make and require just a few simple ingredients – condensed milk, flour, coconut, and chocolate.
The sweetness comes from the sweetened condensed milk as well as the sweetened coconut flakes. There is no added sugar in this recipe.

What is a Coconut Macaroon?

Don’t mix up the MACAROON with a MACARON. They are entirely different delightful deserts.

MACAROONS, like this cookie recipe, are usually made with coconut bonded together with egg whites, then dipped in chocolate. In this coconut macaroon recipe, there are no eggs, just condensed milk which acts as a binder with the flour.
MACARON on the other hand, is a light and airy, usually colorful, meringue sandwich with fillings such as jam, buttercream or ganache.

Recipe Ingredients

COCONUT: There are many different types of coconut sold on the supermarket shelf from unsweetened to sweetened coconut. This recipe specifically calls for sweetened coconut so be sure to pick up the right one!

CONDENSED MILK: This can be found in the canned milk section or baking section of the supermarket. Make sure to purchase the canned milk that has been sweetened.

Recipe Tips & Tricks!

If the macaroons spread too much while cooking, place the batter in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Also, do not overmix the batter.

Like most cookie recipes, it is important to not over bake them. Baking for just the right amount of time will ensure that the cookies are moist and chewy.
