Remove from heat immediately after reaching a rolling boil.
Add 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut, and 2 cups rolled oats. Stir until thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto wax paper-lined baking sheets, leaving some space between each macaroon.
