Easy Chocolate Coconut Macaroons: 20-Minute Treat


  • Author: Isabel
  • Total Time: 20-22 minutes
  • Yield: 12-15 macaroons 1x

Description

Crispy, chewy chocolate coconut macaroons ready in 20 minutes. No mixer needed. Perfect for last-minute dessert cravings or gift-giving.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz sweetened shredded coconut (about 3.5 cups)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, flour, vanilla, and salt. Stir until well coated.
  3. Scoop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1.5 inches wide. Press down slightly with the back of a spoon.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  5. Let macaroons cool completely on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Dip half of each cooled macaroon into the melted chocolate.
  8. Place back on parchment paper and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
  9. Let chocolate set for 10-15 minutes at room temperature or 5 minutes in the fridge.

Notes

Do not use unsweetened coconut unless adjusting sugar. Ensure macaroons are completely cool before dipping to prevent chocolate from melting off. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
