Ingredients
Macaroons:
- 14 oz bag sweetened flaked coconut
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping:
- 1 cup crushed pineapple in juice
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped white chocolate ,melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine the coconut, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract.
- With an electric mixer beat egg whites and salt together on high speed to medium peaks, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture until incorporated.
- Drop by the spoonful (about 2 tablespoons) onto the prepared sheet pan and use the back of a spoon to make a well into the center.
- Bake until cookies are golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely.
- While cookies are baking, make the pineapple jam topping. Combine crushed pineapple and granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is thickened, 15-20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Spoon jam into the wells of the cookies. Drizzle with melted white chocolate. Let sit about 5 minutes until white chocolate is set.

Hi I love tropical flavors also, and this recipe sounds delicious. But, I have a question you say 2 large eggs in the recipe and then you say to whip egg whites in the recipe? Should we use 2 egg whites for the macaroons? Just a little confusing. Thanks for the great recipes.
Oops! Yes whites only. Recipe’s been fixed, thanks for the heads up.
These are the perfect cookie for the season.
Do these refrigerate well? Or how long do they keep typically?
No need to refrigerate, but I suppose you could if you wanted to. They’ll keep for several days in an airtight container. Hope this helps!
can you freeze these and how long there good for when frozen
