Coconut Macaroon Cookies (Chocolate Dipped) step by step
- Preheat oven to 300° F. If u have a big oven you should use the middle rack to bake these. If you have a small oven you should use the top rack of your oven....
- Melt margarine in microwave, set aside to cool a bit... In a large mixing bowl mix all the coconut with half of the flour (you'll probably need more later but not at this point) Set this aside....
- In another bowl whisk together sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, eggs & melted but cooled a bit margarine until well incorporated....
- Pour wet mixture into the dry mixture (coconut & half the flour) Use a good stiff spoon such as a metal or wooden one to mix all together until well incorporated....
- After mixing together at this point your mix needs to be tested... Take a tbs of mix and put it on a saucer... If the mix stays in a pile without spreading then it should be fine, if not you will now have to start adding in the other half of the flour & mixing in after each tbs until you have the right consistency... Keep testing it after adding flour by adding by tbs onto a saucer & make sure to add it back to the other mix each time....
- Now you can drop by tbs onto a cookie sheet & bake until the tops are just starting to get golden in color & the bottoms should be light golden brown... When done pull out of the oven & let sit 4-5 minutes... After sitting carefully remove with a spatula & put on a plate or platter to finish cooling... Put another batch in the oven & repeat until all mix is used up....
- At this point you can dust them with powdered sugar & eat them if you'd like... Otherwise put about 1/2 of your bag of chocolate chips in a bowl with your wax then into the microwave on low setting until melted... (I use a paring knife to shave the wax so that it melts better) After the chocolate is melted dip each macaroon into the chocolate & shake off excess... Put back onto plate or platter & into the freezer or fridge so the chocolate sets....
- Now you can eat them, share them or store them in airtight containers! I hope you all enjoy them! They are delicious & addicting!!.
