Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons

Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons are chewy, sweet mounds of shredded coconut blended with sweetened condensed milk or sugar and egg whites, flavored with vanilla and almond extract. Baked until golden, they are topped with whole almonds inside and dipped in melted semi-sweet chocolate for a rich finish. The texture is both tender and slightly crisp, with the chocolate adding a smooth contrast.

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk or granulated sugar
  • 3 egg white
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 6 cups coconut 14 ounces, sweetened shredded
  • 30-35 almonds if desired, whole
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips HERSHEY'S brand

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Whisk the sweetened condensed milk OR the granulated sugar with the egg whites, vanilla and almond extract until frothy. Stir in the coconut. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the coconut mixture into a 2-inch scoop, poke a hole in the middle and insert two almonds. Cover the almonds and place the coconut mix on the parchment paper. Repeat.
  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden on top. If the cookies spread at the base simply cut away the baked egg white with a sharp knife while the cookies are still hot.
  5. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  6. Melt the HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips in a small bowl for 30 seconds in the microwave. Stir. Melt for another 15-20 seconds and stir again until the chocolate melts into itself. Dip the bottoms of the macaroons into the melted chocolate chips, scrape the bottom on the side of the dish and cool on the cooling rack.

Notes

  • Sweetened condensed milk creates a denser, chewier macaroon texture compared to granulated sugar.
  • Inserting whole almonds inside each scoop adds a crunchy contrast.
  • Cool the cookies before dipping in melted chocolate to ensure coating adheres well.
  • Remove any spreading at the base by trimming baked egg whites while cookies are still warm.
