Ingredients
  

2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh raspberries (lightly crushed)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup dark chocolate (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

      Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the lightly crushed raspberries, being careful not to overmix so that the raspberries maintain their shape and provide bursts of flavor.

        Shape the Macaroons: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can create mounds or compact shapes depending on your preference.

          Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the macaroons have a slightly toasted appearance.

            Cool Down: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Drizzle with Chocolate (Optional): If you’d like to add a touch of decadence, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Once melted, drizzle the chocolate over the cooled macaroons using a fork or a piping bag.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, enjoy your Raspberry Coconut Macaroons with a cup of tea or coffee!
