  • Total Time: 34 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients

Macaroon Mixture

  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 14 ounce package sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Topping

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Small amount of shortening (optional, for melting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the cocoa powder and shredded coconut into the egg white mixture, stirring carefully until the mixture is evenly combined without deflating the egg whites too much.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture for pockets of chocolate in every bite.
  5. Portion Macaroons: Using a 1/8 cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop, drop mounds of the batter spaced about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for spreading.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 24 minutes, or until the macaroons are set and slightly crisp on the edges.
  7. Cool: Remove the macaroons from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up before decorating.
  8. Melt Chocolate & Drizzle: Melt the remaining 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, adding a small amount of shortening if needed to achieve a smooth, drizzling consistency. Use a spoon or fork to drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons for a decorative finish.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of macaroons from the baking sheet.
  • Add a small amount of shortening when melting chocolate to keep it smooth and prevent seizing.
  • Allow macaroons to cool completely before drizzling with chocolate to avoid melting the base chocolate chips inside.
  • Store macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free chocolate chips and omit shortening or use a plant-based alternative.
