These Coconut Chocolate Chip Macaroons are a delicious and easy cookie recipe! A nice change in the cookie routine!
I love coconut. I will eat anything that has coconut in it! You name it. I’ll eat it. And a cookie that’s basically all coconut? With chocolate too? Um. Yum. These are a family favourite. They are delicate, chewy, coconut-y and chocolatey all at the same time! Yes please.
And if you love coconut and chocolate chips you’ll love these cookies too! (Or are they cookies? I’m not sure whether a coconut macaroon is really a cookie or a candy?) Either way, they’re delish!

February 8, 2013 at 2:31 PMMy favorite Jewish cookbook was at our ski house and I had volunteered to bake for a friend’s daughter’s bat mitzvah. I figured I would give this recipe a try, and boy was it worth the risk! As I was mixing in the coconut I feared the proportions might be a little off, but not even one tiny bit. They got crispy on the bottom, firm on top and oh so moist in the middle! Parchment paper a must. I used mini chocolate chips and added about 1/4 cup of almond meal. Truly delicious!

March 23, 2013 at 11:28 PMWoo hoo! Thanks for this recipe — I had a bag of sweetened coconut on hand and wanted to make chocolate chip macaroons for Passover (and let’s be honest, because I was craving them!). I found your site by Googling and rejecting a bunch of other recipes that called for ingredients I didn’t have on hand. Winner winner! They were fast, easy, and delicious. I’m going to have a hard time resisting the temptation to eat them all immediately.
