Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped (for drizzling)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, chopped raspberries, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  3. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  5. Remove from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. While the macaroons are cooling, melt the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons using a fork or a piping bag. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
