Almond Coconut Macaroons
Description
This recipe blends sweetened coconut flakes with sweetened condensed milk, providing moisture and sweetness that bind the mixture together. Chopped almonds add texture and nuttiness, while half the chocolate chips mixed into the batter impart bursts of melted chocolate after baking. Dropped and patted into round shapes, the macaroons bake until lightly browned at the edges, maintaining a chewy center. A drizzle of melted chocolate topped with a whole almond completes each cookie, adding a decorative and flavor contrast.
The cookies can be served once the chocolate sets, providing a treat with a combination of chewy coconut, crunchy almonds, and creamy chocolate. Stored in a sealed container, they remain fresh for up to five days.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened coconut flakes 1 bag
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 1 can
- 2 cups chocolate chips divided use (can use semisweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
- In a large bowl, mix together the coconut, condensed milk, 1 cup of chocolate chips and ½cup chopped almonds. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Drop 2 tablespoons of the dough onto the sheet pan approximately 1 ½" apart. Wet your fingers and firmly pat the dough into cookie shapes.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
- Place 1 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments until chocolate is melted. Stir until smooth.
