Coconut Macaroon Cookies (Chocolate Dipped)
I was tinkering around in the kitchen & looking at other recipes for macaroons & just decided I was going to do my own thing based on some of the others! I came up with this! If I knew macaroons were so easy to make I would've been making them years ago! Lol. I tried not to make the macaroons/cookies very sweet since I was dipping them in chocolate!
Ingredients
-
3 each 7 ounce bags flaked & sweetened coconut
-
1/2 cup all purpose flour, start with only half of this (more or less as needed)
-
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
-
2 large eggs
-
3 1/2 tbsp margerine
-
2 tsp real vanilla extract
-
1 packages semisweet chocolate chips (milk chocolate if u like them sweeter, the macaroons aren't very sweet)
-
1 1/2 tbsp cooking wax for thinning & making the chocolate shiny
Cooking Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 300° F. If u have a big oven you should use the middle rack to bake these. If you have a small oven you should use the top rack of your oven...

2
Melt margarine in microwave, set aside to cool a bit... In a large mixing bowl mix all the coconut with half of the flour (you'll probably need more later but not at this point) Set this aside...
-
3
In another bowl whisk together sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, eggs & melted but cooled a bit margarine until well incorporated...
-
4
Pour wet mixture into the dry mixture (coconut & half the flour) Use a good stiff spoon such as a metal or wooden one to mix all together until well incorporated...

After mixing together at this point your mix needs to be tested... Take a tbs of mix and put it on a saucer... If the mix stays in a pile without spreading then it should be fine, if not you will now have to start adding in the other half of the flour & mixing in after each tbs until you have the right consistency... Keep testing it after adding flour by adding by tbs onto a saucer & make sure to add it back to the other mix each time...

Now you can drop by tbs onto a cookie sheet & bake until the tops are just starting to get golden in color & the bottoms should be light golden brown... When done pull out of the oven & let sit 4-5 minutes... After sitting carefully remove with a spatula & put on a plate or platter to finish cooling... Put another batch in the oven & repeat until all mix is used up...

At this point you can dust them with powdered sugar & eat them if you'd like... Otherwise put about 1/2 of your bag of chocolate chips in a bowl with your wax then into the microwave on low setting until melted... (I use a paring knife to shave the wax so that it melts better) After the chocolate is melted dip each macaroon into the chocolate & shake off excess... Put back onto plate or platter & into the freezer or fridge so the chocolate sets...

Now you can eat them, share them or store them in airtight containers! I hope you all enjoy them! They are delicious & addicting!!
