Are you looking for a super simple cookie that is sure to please a crowd?

Not only are they delicious and chewy but they are also gluten-free!
If you want a less sweet cookie, replace the sweetened shredded coconut with unsweetened coconut. However, sweetened is typically easier to find.
I made these macaroons with chocolate chunks but you can also use chocolate chips if you can’t find chocolate chunks.

Chocolate Chunk Macaroons
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2-1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine sugar, coconut, egg whites, chocolate chunks, vanilla, and salt.
- Use your hands to mix well, completely combining ingredients.
- Dampen hands with cold water. Form 1-1/2 tablespoons of mixture into a loose haystack shape, and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture, placing macaroons about 1 inch apart.
- Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove baking sheet from oven to a wire rack, and let macaroons cool slightly on baking sheet.
- These are best served warm from the oven, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days; leave in a warm place for 1 hour before serving to allow chocolate to soften.
