Coconut Macaroons with Chocolate Drizzle
Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop small mounds of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the macaroons turn golden brown.
5. While the macaroons are baking, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
6. Once the macaroons are baked, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons using a spoon or by transferring the melted chocolate to a small zip-lock bag and cutting a tiny hole in one corner to use it as a piping bag.
8. Allow the chocolate to set before serving. You can speed up the process by placing the macaroons in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
9. Serve and enjoy these delicious coconut macaroons with a touch of chocolate!
