Last year I made a batch of chocolate macaroons but didn’t use my mom’s recipe, just one I found online that I thought looked the same. They weren’t the same and I really didn’t like the melted chocolate. Cocoa is just way better in this recipe in my opinion! So this year I used my mom’s recipe and we were all quite pleased. The recipe yields about 18 cookies with my medium cookie scoop, make sure you make a couple of batches because this will go fast!
Chocolate Macaroons (family recipe)
Ingredients:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3 cups unsweetened coconut (I only had sweetened and that was fine)
3 T cocoa powder, more if you want them to be more chocolatey!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix milk, coconut, and cocoa powder in a double boiler until well blended and warm. Scoop onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (if you want to be able to remove them after baking!) Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool, then eat with a tall glass of milk!
Oooh – I just might make these as I have all the ingredients on hand!! Thanks for sharing and hope your holidays were warm and spent with loved ones!
these look yummy
You inspired me to make some of these tonight. I’m taking them to work tomorrow–I’ll let you know what everyone thinks!
