Ingredients
  

2 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut

2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

2 large egg whites

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 teaspoon coconut oil (for melting chocolate)

Pink or red sprinkles (for decoration, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix the Coconut Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Stir until well combined.

      Whip the Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

        Fold in the Egg Whites: Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture in three additions. Be gentle to retain the airiness of the egg whites.

          Shape the Macaroons: Use a cookie scoop or two spoons to drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle: While the macaroons are cooling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.

                Drizzle the Chocolate: Once the macaroons are cooled, use a fork to drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each macaroon. For an extra touch, sprinkle with pink or red sprinkles.

                  Set the Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or place in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Serve your delightful Coconut Macaroons on a beautiful plate, perfect for sharing with someone special on Valentine’s Day!
