Chocolate Candy Macaroon Cookies image

This is a divine little treat! You can use just about any small candies, chocolate chips, or even gumdrop minis (okay, so that's not chocolate, but still yummy). Makes a great Easter treat to add to baskets or decorate a serving table. Also try this with candy bars chopped in small pieces. Where's that Snickers bar??? NOTE: Since the first review in June 2009, I have revised the recipe and it works now. :)

Time 15m

Yield 2 dozen cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (14 ounce) package flaked coconut
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 dash salt
2 egg whites, beaten to soft peaks
1 1/2 cups m&m's chocolate candies (plain or peanut)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Combine flaked coconut, sweetened condensed milk, almond extract, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Gently fold beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until well incorportated.
  • Using your palms, surround each M&M candy piece firmly with coconut mixture.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Alternatively, you can use greased mini muffin pans, or regular sized muffin pans for larger candy pieces. Simply fill 2/3 of the way with coconut, then push candy piece down into the center, but not all the way to the bottom. Cover with a bit more coconut mixture.
  • Also, you could use an 8x8 pan, half coconut mixture, then candy pieces, then remaining coconut mixture. Bake, cool, and cut into bars.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seed butter in this recipe. They turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed these cookies. The chocolate ganache filling is so rich and decadent, it makes up for the coconut flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies came out flat and dry. I think I might have forgotten to add the baking powder.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to set properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
