For all the coconut lovers out there, great news! This is a deliciously packed all-coconut cookie you will love. It’s super easy to make, and perfect for students. You don’t even need fancy equipment; s simple hand mixer will do the job well! Make your very own cookies in just a few minutes time and compare how much more delicious and fresh tasting they are than the store-bought rubber we buy.
My family absolutely loves them. The soft, slightly dense and chewy inside, toasted on the outside dipped in dark chocolate ganache are incredibly delicious! They are perfect for snacks, lunch boxes or a dessert for a gift box. If you love coconut, you will give this Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons recipe two thumbs up! ??
Ingredients:
2 – large eggs
1/3 cup (59 ml) – maple syrup
1/3 cup (50 g) – unsalted butter
1/8 tsp. – sea salt
½ tsp. – pure vanilla extract
¼ cup – coconut flour
14 oz. (396 g) – sweetened coconut flakes
6.8 oz. (192 g) – dark chocolate Hershey bar
¼ cup – whole milk
Instructions:
1. Measure out ingredients and melt butter, set aside. Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Using hand mixer beat eggs and maple syrup for a couple of minutes on high speed until pale in color. Reduce the speed to low and then add salt, vanilla, and melted butter. Beat on high for a couple of more minutes.
2. Add coconut flakes all at once and coconut flour. Mix on low until all incorporated for about a minute or so.
3. Using a tablespoon (I like to use tablespoon not ice cream scoop to make that not compact but rather flaky looking cookies) scoop a hipping tablespoon of the coconut batter and place it onto lined with a parchment paper baking sheet. Shape the bottom of each cookie to circle shape.
4. Bake cookies for 20 – 25 minutes on the lowest oven rack (I bake cookies for the full 25 minutes because I like the coconut toasted to golden color).
5. While the macaroon cookies are cooling prepare chocolate ganache. I used this Simple Ganache Recipe.
6. Dip the bottom of the cookie into chocolate ganache and place them onto the same pan with parchment paper you baked the cookies on. To speed up the setting of the chocolate place baking sheet (with already dipped into chocolate coconut macaroons) into the fridge for 30 minutes. Remove macaroon cookies from parchment paper and place it onto a serving platter. Cookies taste best the next day after absorbing the flavors.

Definitely going to try these am a big fan of coconut!! One question, i don’t like maple syrup. Does it have maple syrup taste after its baked? Can i use honey or sugar instead?
I used to not like maple syrup as well until I really got to try the good quality one a few years ago. Not at all, but it’s ok to substitute with honey.
These were SOO GOOOD!! Thank you Valya!!
You are very welcome! I’m glad you liked it. Thank you for your review! 🙂
