Chocolate coconut macaroons store well, and look great in a holiday cookie tin for exchange with friends and family. In the test kitchen we found that folding in some chocolate chips before shaping makes them extra rich and delicious.

  • Remove from heat and add the vanilla. The milk will steam and bubble up a lot when you add it, so be careful. Add the rolled oats, coconut, and chocolate chips, then stir until combined.
