Chocolate chip macaroon puffs combine classic macaroon cookies with delicious chocolate chip cookies for a light, chewy, and flavorful dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups sweetened, shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add in the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  3. In another bowl, combine the shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing well.
  4. Gently fold the coconut mixture into the whipped egg whites.
  5. Stir in the mini chocolate chips using a folding technique.
  6. Drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown around the edges.
  8. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Melt the mini chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
  10. Dip the bottom of each macaroon into the melted chocolate and place back on the wire rack to set.
  11. If desired, refrigerate to speed up the setting process.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature egg whites and be gentle when folding the ingredients to maintain the fluffy texture.
