How to Make Coconut Chewy Macaroons
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon almond extract.
- In a separate large bowl, combine 4 cups sweetened shredded coconut and ¼ cup all-purpose flour.
- Gently fold the wet mixture (from step 3) into the dry mixture (from step 4) until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop rounded tablespoons of the macaroon mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
- Let the macaroons cool completely on a wire rack before handling.
- (Optional) Melt your favorite chocolate chips according to package directions. Dip the bottom of each cooled macaroon into the melted chocolate and place them back on the wire rack to set. Alternatively, drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade Coconut Chewy Macaroons!
