This coconut macaroons recipe only requires five ingredients so you can whip up a batch quickly and satisfy your sweet tooth with a healthier treat. While most baked desserts are made with sodium-packed butter, salt, and baking soda (or baking powder), these cookies contain none of those ingredients. They taste indulgent and provide fewer calories than many popular cookies.

Ingredients

2 large egg whites
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups shredded coconut
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Preparation

Heat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
Whisk egg whites, sugar, and vanilla until frothy. Stir in coconut.
Scoop mixture into 1-inch balls and place on lined cookie sheet.
Bake 15 minutes, or until macaroons are lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
In a small microwave-safe dish, melt chocolate chips in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring well until smooth.
Dip bottoms of macaroons in melted chocolate and place on parchment or a silicone baking mat to dry until chocolate is hardened.
