Coconut Macaroons Chocolate Drizzle (Printable)

Chewy coconut clusters enhanced with a smooth dark chocolate coating for a sweet delight.

# What's Needed:

→ Macaroons

01 - 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
02 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 4 large egg whites
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Chocolate Drizzle

06 - 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
07 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, mix shredded coconut, sugar, egg whites, vanilla extract, and salt until thoroughly incorporated.
03 - Spoon tablespoons-sized mounds of mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart.
04 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until edges and tops turn golden brown.
05 - Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
06 - Gently melt dark chocolate and coconut oil, if using, in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
07 - Dip bottoms of cooled macaroons into melted chocolate, place back on parchment paper, then drizzle tops with remaining chocolate using a fork or piping bag.
08 - Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • They're ready in under an hour and require zero fancy equipment or baking skills.
  • The chocolate drizzle transforms something homey into something that feels genuinely special.
02 -
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites—if you whip them into stiff peaks, your macaroons become dense and cakey instead of chewy.
  • The color of the macaroons when they come out of the oven is everything; golden edges mean perfectly toasted coconut, which makes all the difference in flavor.
03 -
  • If your chocolate seizes when melting, add a tiny drop of coconut oil and stir slowly—it usually comes back.
  • For a professional-looking drizzle, slightly underfill your piping bag and work slowly; rushed drizzles never look as good as patient ones.
