These chewy chocolate chip macaroons are a quick, easy, and kid-approved treat with a perfect balance of sweet, gooey, and toasted coconut flavor combined with melty chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups shredded sweetened coconut (270g)
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (300g)
  • 2 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips (170g), semi-sweet or milk chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the two large egg whites with a pinch of salt until frothy but not stiff (3-5 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the shredded sweetened coconut with the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined and sticky.
  4. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly but gently.
  6. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop mounds (about 1 ½ tablespoons / 22g each) spaced about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. You should get roughly 20 macaroons.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft and chewy.
  8. Cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before transferring.

Notes

Do not overmix the egg whites into the coconut mixture to keep the macaroons light and chewy. Use mini chocolate chips to avoid melting and maintain little pockets of chocolate. If kitchen is humid, baking time may be slightly longer. Chilling the batter for 15 minutes before scooping helps maintain shape. For dairy-free, use coconut cream or vegan condensed milk and aquafaba instead of egg whites.
