Coconut Macaroons ~ Basic or Chocolate-Dipped
Today I’m posting with you one of my all-time favorite cookie recipe. It’s time to make some simple, however scrumptious, coconut macaroons!
This recipe happens to be from a cookie cookbook that was a part of my mom’s collection after i was growing up. A lot of the cookies that I keep company with my youth can be found in the pages of this particular cookbook. But what I like most about this formula – apart from the final result, needless to say – is normally that it just calls for a few basic ingredients. There is no sweetened condensed milk here…this formula relies on egg whites to bind the coconut into sugary, chewy, can’t-eat-just-one morsels of deliciousness. I’m becoming totally honest when I say that actually coconut macaroons from great bakeries have disappointed me because I am spoiled by these.
This recipe is incredibly quick to throw together, and the cookies taste like they took far more effort than they actually did. The only warning I have for you is normally that they tend to stick to the pan, and the best remedy I have found for this problem is to series my cookie sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. The cookies will glide right off of those surfaces, but you may find yourself etching them loose if you try to bake them direct on the pan, regardless of how much you greased it.
If you wish to take these already-delectable cookies to another level, then might I would recommend dipping or drizzling them in melted chocolate? Seriously. Decadent. If however you like Mounds chocolate bars (me!me!me!), I can promise you these chocolate-dipped coconut macaroons are even better.
Therefore pin this formula and tag my term…if you enjoy a good coconut macaroon, you will not look for a better one than this!
These rich and chewy cookies are as easy to make because they are delicious, and dipping or drizzling them in delicious chocolate makes them especially decadent!
For chocolate-dipped macaroons:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Prepare two cookie bedding by lining them with parchment paper.
In a big bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until frothy. Combine in salt, sugars, vanilla, and flour and defeat another minute until soft and thickened. Mix in coconut until all elements are well combined.
Work with a tablespoon or little cookie scoop to drop mounds of batter, 1 inch apart, onto prepared cookie bedding. Bake for 20 to 25 mins or until cookies are chicken feet good beginning to change light brown on the tips from the coconut flakes and around their bottom edges. Allow to great for a couple minutes for the cookie linens before transferring to some cable rack to cool completely.
For chocolate-dipped macaroons:
Place chocolate in a heat-proof dish set more than a pot filled up with a couple inches of hardly simmering drinking water (water should not contact the bottom of the bowl). Stir chocolates until melted. Alternatively, you might melt chocolate in the microwave by heating system it for 1 minute at 50% power, stirring, and heating and stirring at 30 second intervals until melted.
Halfway dip each cookie in melted chocolate, set it on the wax paper-lined cookie sheet, and invite to cool at area temperature for thirty minutes or until delicious chocolate is set. You may speed up the process by putting dipped cookies within the refrigerator for 15 minutes, but not too long or condensation will begin to form. Instead of dipping the cookies, you may instead choose to drizzle them with the melted delicious chocolate.
Depending on how generous your hand is at chocolate-dipping, you may find yourself needing more chocolates.
I usually love to opt for 6 ounces and if I go out, we similarly enjoy the staying macaroons plain.

I believe you’ll love this recipe !
Like a macaroon lover I have a tendency to choose the vintage (there’s a reason it’s a vintage…) but as a chocolate lover I’m always more than happy to check it out with, after all I might find one with chocolate that I can’t resist 😀
Thank you a lot for posting (and the tip regarding the mat when cooking food) I’ll have to try these.
Possess a Sweet Day!
