- With a medium sized cookie scoop drop mounds of the coconut mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet . I got 15 large cookies .Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes
- Let the macaroons cool for 10 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack
- Once macaroons are cooled heat the chocolate and coconut oil up in a small bowl. I heated it in the microwave in 30 second intervals , stirring in between .
- Dip the bottom into the chocolate and then place them on parchment paper or wax paper .
- Drizzle the remaining chocolate over the top of the macaroons . Allow the chocolate to set up. Placing them in the freezer for 10 minutes speeds up the process .
