    Dove Easter Egg Coconut Macaroon Cookies  are so easy to make!  These beloved Easter cookie beauties bake up slightly chewy on the inside and have a yummy toasted coconut exterior on the outside.

    The Easter eggs pressed into the centers, makes these macaroons even more special!  Not to downplay coconut macaroons by any means, but with these adorable smooth and creamy Dove Chocolate Easter Eggs are indulgent and addictive.

    Chocolate and coconut together is positively sweet, rich and wonderful. 

    You get a choice of milk or dark chocolate eggs when you purchase the Dove chocolate Easter eggs.  Maybe you've seen these in the stores?  I wasn't aware of them until I did some Easter Candy shopping last weekend.  🙂

    easter macaroon cookies

    Candy shopping always seems to be one of the best pleasurable shopping experiences for me, still to this day. Ahhh...I remember it all so well...when I first laid eyes on all those beautiful candy bars and candies on the shelves when Mom was in the check-out lane.  Ya can't miss 'em!  Talk about torture!!

    However, I really despise actual shopping anymore...and this is coming from someone that used to go shopping any chance she could get.  Didn't matter if it was grocery, clothing, furniture, etc! -- I loved it! I think it all ended when online shopping came about and made life easier.  Still shopping! 🙂

    How to Make Dove Easter Egg Coconut Macaroon Cookies

    1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mat. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
    2. In a medium mixing bowl, toss together the coconut, flour and salt.
    3. Beat egg white to frothy consistency by beating egg vigorously with a fork in a cup for 30-45 seconds.
    4. Add the sweetened condensed milk, frothy egg white and vanilla to the coconut/flour mixture and mix it all together well with a spoon or rubber spatula.
    5. Optional:
    6. Add in color gel of choice if you want a certain color to make them festive for Easter. (I used a little green to get the pastel pretty green color.)
    7. Use a 2 oz cookie or ice cream scoop placing mounds 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
    8. Bake for 16-20 minutes or until golden brown. 
    9. Remove to a wire rack to cool and let sit for 2-4 minutes, then gently press a chocolate egg into the center. Test until you get the right timing for the first one or two so they don't turn out melty.

    Tips worth noting for our macaroon cookie recipe!

    To make the macaroons, you have to have 'frothy egg white'.

    'Frothy' Egg White Tip:

    You have to get a frothy consistency with an egg white, which is fairly easy, if you never have done it.  Beat white (s) until "foamy" or "frothy," beat them until they form a mass of tiny, clear bubbles. Since this recipe only uses one egg, I used a fork and vigorously beat it in a cup about 30-45 seconds to get the consistency I was looking for.

    For more info @ The Spruce Eats on Whipping Egg Whites breaks it down for you literally.

    Tip for Placing Chocolate Eggs on the Macaroon Cookies 

    Don't place the eggs on top immediately after they come out of the oven.  The chocolate eggs melt down and then firm up, thus resulting in a melted thumbprint look.  Wait at least 2-4 minutes before placing the chocolate eggs on top and then press down gently.  If they start melting right away, give them more time to cool off  just a tad, then go for placing on top again.

      Candy shopping is the best... That's why I avoid bulk stores as much as possible cause I always get a bag or two or five 🙂 Do like coconut macaroons, and they're always a good idea for around the Easter time. Delicious!
