These Coconut Chocolate Chip Delights are a twist on the classic macaroon, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and pure vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent cookies.
Scoop rounded teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using a cookie scoop can help create uniform cookies.
Gently press each scoop with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly.
Flattening helps the cookies bake evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the cookies to prevent overbaking.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents sogginess.
Serve and enjoy your Coconut Chocolate Chip Delights!
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for later.
