Instructions
1
|
Set the oven temperature to 325℉. Get two baking sheets ready by using parchment paper or a silicone liner. Avoid using foil as it may cause sticking.
2
|
Combine the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and almond extract in a medium bowl. Leave it aside.
3
|
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and salt in a separate bowl until they form stiff peaks.
4
|
Fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture using a spatula.
5
|
By scooping the mixture with a cookie scoop, place heaping tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced approximately 1 inch apart.
6
|
Cook for a duration of 23 to 25 minutes until the upper surface and sides turn golden.
7
|
After a few minutes of cooling on the pans, move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8
|
Microwave the chocolate in short 30-second intervals, stirring after each one until the chocolate becomes smooth and suitable for dipping. Take caution not to overheat it, as this may result in burnt chocolate.
9
|
Immerse each macaroon into the chocolate, ensuring the bottoms and a small portion of the sides are covered, before returning them to the parchment sheets to solidify.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Room Temperature Egg Whites 🥚Allow egg whites to reach room temperature before whipping—they'll incorporate more air and create a lighter, fluffier meringue that yields airier macaroons with better texture.
- Toast the Coconut First 🥥Lightly toast the sweetened coconut flakes in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing to enhance nuttiness and reduce excess moisture, preventing soggy macaroons.
- Temper Chocolate Perfectly 🍫Melt chocolate chips over a double boiler rather than direct heat, then let it cool slightly before dipping to achieve a smooth, snappy coating that sets beautifully.
- Chill Mixture Before Scooping ❄️Refrigerate the coconut-almond mixture for 30 minutes after combining—this firms it up and makes scooping easier while preventing the cookies from spreading during baking.
- Don't Skip Parchment Paper 📄Use parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent sticking and ensure even heat distribution, resulting in uniformly golden bottoms without burning.
