Ingredients

• 3 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
• 0.75 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract (optional)
• 2 Large egg whites
• 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate (for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites and kosher salt together until stiff peaks form. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer on high speed.

Step 4

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each macaroon about 1 inch apart.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown on the edges and set in the middle.

Step 7

Remove from oven and allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Once the macaroons have cooled, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (or microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth).

Step 9

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons using a spoon or a piping bag. Let the chocolate set completely before serving or storing.

Step 10

Enjoy your festive 'Tis the Season Coconut Macaroons with a cup of hot cocoa or tea!
