Instructions
How to Make Coconut Macaroons
- Start by measuring out ingredients and melting butter. Set the melted butter aside.
- Next, preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
- Using a hand mixer add eggs and maple syrup to a bowl, and beat this mixture for a couple of minutes on high speed until it turns pale in color.
- Now reduce the speed to low and then add salt, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Next, beat this on high for a couple of more minutes.
- Now time for some coconut goodness! Add the coconut flakes all at once to the bowl and also add the coconut flour. To fold, mix on low for about a minute or so until it’s all well incorporated.
- Time to prep the cookies for baking! We’ll scoop the coconut mixture and place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Shape the bottom of each cookie into a circular shape.
- I prefer using a tablespoon to scoop these instead of an ice cream scoop as this makes sure that the cookies aren’t too compact and can turn out nice and flaky.
- Time to bake these incredibly delicious macaroons! Bake the cookies for 20 – 25 minutes on the lowest oven rack. I prefer baking cookies for the full 25 minutes because I like the coconut toasted to golden color.
- Once done, place the macaroons on a wire rack to cool completely.
How to Make Chocolate Ganache
- While the macaroon cookies are cooling prepare chocolate ganache. I used this While the macaroon cookies are cooling prepare chocolate ganache. I used this Simple Ganache Recipe.
- You can also use the same ingredients but microwave it instead by adding the chocolate bar and milk to a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving it in 30-second intervals till the chocolate melts. Stir each time till it turns into a beautiful ganache.
How to Dip Coconut Macaroon in Chocolate
- Holding a macaroon by its pointed top, dip the bottom of these cookies into the chocolate ganache. Next, scrape off the excess chocolate and place the macaroon on a lined baking sheet or the same one you baked the cookies on.
- To make sure that the chocolate sets quickly, place the baking sheet with the chocolate-dipped coconut macaroons into the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Next, remove macaroon cookies from parchment paper and place them onto a serving platter. These delicious cookies taste best the next day after absorbing all the flavors.
