 Chocolate Macaroons Recipe


Chocolate Macaroons Recipe

These chocolate macaroons are chewy, chocolatey, and incredibly easy to make. They’re naturally gluten-free and perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients (Makes about 20 macaroons):

  • 2 1/2 cups (200g) shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Coating:

  • 100g (3.5 oz) dark or milk chocolate, melted

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the shredded coconut, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients:

    • Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until the mixture is sticky and holds together when pressed.
  4. Shape the Macaroons:

    • Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  5. Bake:

    • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly crisp. The centers should still be soft.
  6. Cool:

    • Allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Optional Chocolate Coating:

    • Dip the bottoms of the cooled macaroons into melted chocolate, then place them on parchment paper to set. Drizzle additional chocolate on top if desired.

Tips and Variations:

  • Add Nuts: Mix in 1/4 cup of finely chopped almonds or hazelnuts for extra crunch.
  • Use Sweetened Coconut: If using sweetened shredded coconut, reduce the sugar slightly to balance the sweetness.
  • Flavor Boost: Add 1/4 tsp almond extract or a pinch of instant coffee powder for added depth of flavor.
  • Storage: Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
