Coconut Macaroon Recipe
Description
This Coconut Macaroon Recipe starts with a mixture of sweetened shredded coconut combined with coconut oil, egg whites, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. The batter is scooped onto parchment-lined baking sheets and baked slowly at a low temperature, allowing the macaroons to develop a moist, chewy interior while lightly toasting the coconut on the outside.
After cooling, the bottoms of the macaroons are dipped in gently melted white chocolate and then coated with holiday-colored sprinkles, adding a sweet contrast and a colorful touch. The chocolate sets as the macaroons rest on parchment paper.
The macaroon's texture is soft and sticky with a crisp exterior, complemented by the richness of white chocolate. These cookies fit well as holiday treats or anytime a coconut-flavored dessert is desired.
Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 1/4 cup coconut 180g, sweetened shredded
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
- 2 egg 60g, white
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Decoration
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips Guittard is a good brand
- Sprinkles green and red
Instructions
Cookies
- Place the oven rack in the middle and preheat your oven to 250°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a small bowl, combine coconut, coconut oil, egg whites, sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is sticky.
- Using a small or medium ice cream scoope, tightly pack each scoop and release onto the parchment paper.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes for larger-sized macaroons (about 7 pieces) and about 20 minutes for smaller-sized (12-15 pieces) macaroons. Once baked remove from the oven and allow to completely cool.
Decoration
- In a small bowl, microwave the chocolate in 10 second intervals, mixing well between each until the chocolate chips just start to melt. Continue whisking until the chocolate is completely melted. If it needs a little bit more time, do not heat for more than 5 seconds at a time at this point.
- Dip the bottom of each macaroon into the white chocolate, then immediately into the emerald sprinkles and place on parchment paper to set. Drizzle the remaining chocolate with a fork over all of the macaroons and pop on some red sprinkles.
