- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Cooking Tips:
- Use a cookie scoop to make evenly sized macaroons.
- Toast the coconut before mixing it with the other ingredients for a richer flavor.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, coffee, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
3. Use a cookie scoop to form the mixture into 12 evenly sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroons are lightly browned and set.
5. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
6. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
7. Dip the bottom of each macaroon into the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment paper to set.
8. Let the macaroons cool completely before serving.
