These Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons Are Incredibly Easy to Make

Here's everything you need for these mouthwatering chocolate-dipped coconut macaroon cookies. This recipe requires 45 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes of cook time, and makes 36 cookies.

Ingredients to Gather

For the Cookies
⅔ cup (208 grams) sweetened condensed milk
1 egg white
1½ teaspoons vanilla
⅛ teaspoon salt
3½ cups (298 grams) sweetened flaked coconut
For the Chocolate
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped, divided

Directions to Follow

Make the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, egg white, vanilla and salt until combined. Stir in the coconut until well blended.
Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheets. Form the cookies into loose haystacks with your fingertips, moistening your hands with water as necessary to prevent sticking.
Bake, one sheet at a time, until the cookies are light golden brown, 15 to 2o minutes.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheets until slightly set, about 2 minutes, then remove to a wire rack with a wide metal spatula. Cool completely before dipping in chocolate.
Dip the Cookies: Melt 8 ounces of the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of almost-simmering water, stirring once or twice, until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in the remaining 2 ounces chocolate until smooth.
Holding a macaroon by its pointed top, dip the bottom and ½ inch up the sides in the chocolate; scrape off the excess chocolate and place the macaroon on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining macaroons.

After this, just refrigerate the macaroons for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate sets. You can store the cookies for up to a week in an air-tight container, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Wow! Don't these macaroons sound absolutely amazing? And so easy to make, too. We recommend making a double batch, because they're so delicious they're going to go fast. Yum!
