Preheat your oven to 165°C or 330°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Then add the coconut milk and whisk until smooth.
Stir in the shredded coconut until it’s all coated and you have an even mixture.
If your mixture is quite soft, stick it in the fridge for 30 minutes. If not, portion it with a 2tbsp scoop onto your prepared baking sheet. If you want to add chocolate, fill half your scoop with batter and place 2 to 3 chocolate chips or a chocolate chunk in the middle then finish it off with more batter. Make sure there are no cracks where the chocolate might melt out.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly golden and place them on a wire rack to cool.
Notes
*Disclaimer: I have a tiny not-so-great oven, so your bake time may vary from mine.
I strongly suggest making recipes by weight, if you make them by cups I can’t guarantee that you’ll get the same results.
The finer your shredded coconut is the more pillowy your macaroon will be. If that’s what you want you can place the quantity of shredded coconut in a food processor and pulse a few times to make it finer.
