Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of sweetened shredded coconut, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the coconut mixture until well combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into 12 mounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons.
- Allow the chocolate to set before serving. Enjoy your delicious chocolate coconut macaroons!
