These simple Chocolate Coconut Macaroons are rich and chocolatey with a perfect texture, and so easy to make!

Yield: 36 cookies

Ingredients

• 2 oz unsweetened chocolate
• 1/2 cup cake flour
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 ½ cups sweetened coconut flakes
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 14 oz can fat-free sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 250. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine cake flour (spoon into the measuring cup and level with a knife to get an accurate measurement), unsweetened cocoa and salt. Add coconut and stir to combine.
• In a small bowl, microwave unsweetened chocolate on high for 1-2 minutes until almost melted (mine took 2 minutes…if you break it into smaller pieces before heating it will probably take closer to 1 min) and stir to complete melting. Add melted chocolate, vanilla extract and condensed milk to the coconut mixture and mix well until combined.
• Drop the mixture by level tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, making 36 cookies. Bake for 45 minutes, rotating once during baking. Let cool 10 minutes before serving
