Unsweetened coconut <em>could<\/em> work, but it\u2019s very dry and you may need to increase the egg whites and add more sugar. For best results, use sweetened.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Amount:<\/strong> You may need to buy 2 packages of coconut, but you won\u2019t use all of the second package. You need 17 ounces (481g) of sweetened shredded coconut, which is a standard (in the U.S.) 14-ounce (396g) package plus an additional 1 cup (85g) of coconut.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chop It\/Pulse It:<\/strong> Pulse the coconut shreds in the food processor to chop up the pieces. Why? Finer pieces of coconut keep the macaroon thumbprints compact and help hold the shape better. I give it about 15 quick pulses. If you don\u2019t have a food processor, spread the coconut out on a cutting board and give it all a rough chop.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/caramel-coconut-macaroon-thumbprints\/?tp_image_id=146417\" data-pin-description=\"How to make salted caramel coconut macaroon thumbprints on sallysbakingaddiction.com\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-pin-title=\"Caramel Coconut Macaroon Thumbprints\" alt=\"pulsed coconut in food processor bowl.\" class=\"wp-image-146417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/chopped-coconut-in-food-processor.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/chopped-coconut-in-food-processor-500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/chopped-coconut-in-food-processor-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/chopped-coconut-in-food-processor-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Ingredients You Need:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> We\u2019re using white granulated sugar to sweeten the macaroons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt + Vanilla Extract:<\/strong> The flavor enhancers all cookies need!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites bind everything together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s a pretty short and simple list!

You do not want it hot or warm when spooning into the baked thumbprints.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Preheat oven to 325\u00b0F (163\u00b0C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. (<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3kOnpUm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Always recommended<\/a> for cookies.)\u00a0Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Place the coconut in a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4c5hk02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">food processor<\/a> and pulse until finely chopped (about 15 quick pulses). If you don\u2019t have a food processor, spread the coconut out on a cutting board and give it all a rough chop.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg, egg whites, sugar, salt, and vanilla together on medium-high speed until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is frothy, about 1\u20132 minutes. Fold in the coconut until completely combined.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Using a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3nUd4d4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">medium cookie scoop<\/a> or a spoon, scoop 1.5 Tablespoons (about 30g) of the mixture and arrange 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. With your thumb, finger, or a small measuring spoon, press into the center of each macaroon to make an indent.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Bake until lightly golden and set around the edges, 20\u201324 minutes. Keep a close eye on them after around 18 minutes. You want to take them out of the oven when they\u2019re starting to turn a toasty, golden color but are still mostly white; over-baking will dry out your coconut macaroons.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Cool for at least 10 minutes on the baking sheet set on a cooling rack.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Spoon salted caramel into the middles of the macaroons (use however much will fit\u2014about 1\/2\u20131 teaspoon each).<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\"><strong>Melt the chocolate:<\/strong> You can melt it in a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3m5CntK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">double boiler<\/a> or use the microwave. If using the microwave: place the chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl or glass <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Adw4bJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">liquid measuring cup<\/a>. Microwave for 20-second increments, stirring after each, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Drizzle chocolate over the cooled macaroons. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Allow chocolate and caramel to set, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator (to speed it up).<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Cover and store macaroons at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<hr style=\"border-color: #BEB9B7 !important; background-color: #BEB9B7 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\"\/>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n<h3 style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Make Ahead &amp; Freezing Instructions:<\/strong> Macaroons, with or without caramel and chocolate, freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then bring to room temperature. You can prepare the coconut macaroon dough up to 3 days in advance; cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to shape and bake. You can also make the salted caramel in advance. Cover tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Microwave refrigerated caramel sauce in 10-second increments until it\u2019s thin enough to spoon\/drizzle into the macaroons, but not overly warm. 20 seconds is usually plenty.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Tools<\/strong> (affiliate links): Food Processor (like <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4hNZj7S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">this one<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4c5hk02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">this one<\/a>) | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xzOrXO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Baking Sheets<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3kOnpUm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Silicone Baking Mats<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3uO6APL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Parchment Paper<\/a> | Electric Mixer (<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3W5TmJc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Handheld<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OMbx3g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Stand<\/a>) | <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+3SWVRm2k8yvBFozwzwNXBg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Silicone Spatula<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3nUd4d4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Medium Cookie Scoop<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3GfeVAX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Thin Spatula<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2gT7aW9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Cooling Rack<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3LSD42U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Flaky Sea Salt<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Amount of coconut:<\/strong> You need 5 and 2\/3 cups of sweetened shredded coconut, which is 17 ounces or 482g.

If you aren\u2019t using a scale, be sure to measure 5 and 2\/3 cups before you pulse\/chop it in step 3.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can I use unsweetened coconut?<\/strong> I love unsweetened coconut for a lot of baking recipes, but it\u2019s not the best choice for this macaroon recipe. The macaroons will taste very dry. If you want to try it, you\u2019ll need to increase the egg whites and sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salted Caramel Note:<\/strong> If you want to make regular caramel, instead of salted caramel, reduce the salt in that recipe to 1\/2 teaspoon. Additionally, it\u2019s imperative for the caramel to be cool before spooning in the macaroon thumbprints. I recommend making it in advance.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These naturally gluten-free caramel coconut macaroon thumbprints are sweet, moist, and chewy, with a delightfully crisp and toasty exterior.
