Chocolate Chip Coconut Macaroons
This easy recipe for Coconut Macaroons is the classic way to make this sweet treat. You can finish this off with a drizzle of chocolate once the macaroon is cooled.
Equipment
- 2 baking sheets
Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups sweetened coconut flakes
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large bowl, use a whisk to mix together the sugar, egg whites, vanilla, and kosher salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Add in the coconut and mini chocolate chips. Stir until well combined.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about an inch between each cookie. Bake on center rack in in oven until set and lightly golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheets between the upper and lower oven rack halfway through.
- Set the baking sheets on wire racks to cool for a minute, then use a thin metal spatula to transfer the cookies to the racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Coconut: You can use sweetened shredded or flaked coconut.
- Chocolate: I like to use the mini chocolate chips, but full sized semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips both work. You can also leave out the chocolate if you wish.
- Baking: Coconut Macaroons do not spread much during baking, so they will come out in the same shape as they did going in.
- Storage: Store these macaroons in an air-tight container for three days at room temperature or longer in the refrigerator.
- Freezing: Coconut Macaroons freeze well for up to a month.
