Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons - Food Wishes 

Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/266645/Chocolate-Dipped-Coconut-Macaroons-2/

The delivery on "I'm not really into a big bottom [brief, barely noticeable pause] on cookies" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard in your videos.

Look Chef John.. this is getting ridiculous. Your recipes are so legit that I have been forced to cook my own food, successfully, and actually enjoy it lately. Now, I dunno what your game is... but I'm watchin' you, sir O_o

"I'm not really into a big bottom... on cookies." 😂😂😂😂😂

You never disappoint- then you got humor to boot. Dinner & a show.

Welcome back Chef John hope you had a wonderful vacation🤗🤗..also would definitely be making these this weekend

In Brazil we call the not-baked version of this treat "beijinhos" ("little kisses"). It is a common birthday party treat, and we usually present it with a clover stuck in it's middle. It never ocurred to me that you could actually bake this thingie. Nice.

you can easily make a heck-ton of these as a christmas gift and call them "coconut snowballs" and everyone will love you

I llllloooovveee provocative Macaroons with dipped bottoms! Chef knows how to please......a crowd 💕

A belated Happy Birthday to my all time FAVE "Celebrity Chef" *CRUSH* ... *: )* I absolutely LOVE your videos & trying out your good old reliable (always delicious) recipes...I've always enjoyed cooking so much & find it a great creative outlet...(except during my college days when all I had was a lukewarm "hotplate" & one dull knife)...HaHaHa...Now it's off to fetch some coconut~unsweetened... *: )*

A Haystacks Calhoun reference. Classically genius. Very nice.

I love coconut macaroon! This just made my next shopping list! Yes!

I seem to recall my mom loving almondy candies bringing her joy I shall have to make these for her!

Weirding me out. Was wanting something coconutty and made a bar cookie that's similar to this. JUST took them out of the oven and this video pops up. I'm closing my blinds.

There's nothing better than having a plate of macaroons while listening to some tunes in the afternoon with a couple of goons.

..."as I like to re-fur to it"....ha.. these look great...I bet I can fit them into my regimen.....

Saving this recipe for my Christmas cookie boxes!

Chef John, your videos are the very few things keeping me going

I literally buy a box of coconut macaroons once a week, I’m totally going to make these! Chef John you’ve done it again

I always drop what I’m doin for you, chef John

How is it you have the best recipes on the tube for everything....👍

OMG! I was just thinking about you, Chef John! I was thinking... "Man, I haven't seen him post lately. Hope he's okay and POOF! Here you are!" Thanks for the great recipe!

I haven't seen such delectable mounds of coconut joy since Ginger and Mary Ann were ma(ca)rooned on that island. But...I am shocked there was no dark chocolate commandments to "swirla-swirla" followed by the ever classy "shake-a-shake-a." Despite how scrumptious and easy these look, my life is temporarily frought with confusion because of this oversight. And 16 people disliked this video? Those people, not roasted almonds, are the nuts who should be placed in the center of these joyful beauties that are next on my "to bake" list.

I have seen these with a cherry inside too..bit the almond sounds tasty! !💖

Chef John, you're my goddamn culinary hero, and your videos are clever and entertaining! Sincerely, a half-century-old dude in northern Michigan who finally has a proper kitchen and is learning how to cook/eat well.

Wow,that really does look easy to make

those macaroons turned out perfect, however i would personally drizzle chocolate on top as well. love your channel man!!

Such a neat presentation...thank you.

LOL “Since I’m not into a big bottom… on cookies.” I’m with you Chef.

Solid recipe, chef!!! I've made about 15,000 or so coconut macaroons this year alone (part of my job) so here's a few more modifications for y'all to try: -Add some lemon zest and change out the almond extract for orange extract for a citrusy-coconut flavor -Add chocolate chips instead of dipping in chocolate for an interesting visual and texture or if you are just too lazy to melt chocolate -Add finely chopped dehydrated pineapple (like what +FireCracker3240 was suggesting) -If you're feeling especially ambitious: dehydrate strawberries, freeze them and then process to a powder in a food processor. Add powdered strawberry to your mix to make pink strawberry coconut macaroons (this powder can also be used in icings and anywhere you'd want strawberry flavor without the added moisture) -Make these for Easter and drizzle them with different pastel-colored candy coatings for a different take on Easter eggs -Add a lot of cayenne and give them to the people you really love -Seriously try adding the almonds to these! I like to mix in thinly sliced almonds sometimes, too. The thing I love about coconut macaroons is, like chef said, how tough they are. You could build a house out of these babies (if you love having ants). As long as your mix still holds its shape, it -should- bake up into a fine macaroon regardless of what weird experiments you try ;)

These look amazing! And thank you for the visual of knocking over a plate of these at the park with a frisbee, then picking them up and putting them back on the table. very fun scene. By the way, you are great at teaching cooking. Thank you!

I definitely want to try to make those I love chocolate and coconut together

Chef, have you heard of "bacalao al pil pil"? It's a spanish recipe made with salted cod. It's simple in the sense that you just need 4 ingredients: salted cod, garlic, olive oil (it's better use a mild one though, so not virgin, or maybe a mix) and a dried cayenne pepper (whole), but getting the sauce (pil pil) right is a bit tricky, because it's an emulsion made with the gelatine and water in the cod and the olive oil. The best parts of the cod to get it right are the belly and a piece of meat under the chin of the cod we call cococha. In my opinion this is the the best you can do with a piece of salted cod, I think you should really give it a try if you haven't, it's really something special. Anyway, I discovered your channel recently and I'm hooked, keep the great work. Greetings from Spain

Chef John with the pro wrestling pun!! You're quite the Jack, or rather John of all trades; chef, sportsman, provocateur

I'm going to give these a try soon, like right now. I'm off to the store!

When I was a kid, there was a chocolate macaroon bundt cake mix. I loved it. I wish it still existed. That is my food wish. Or perhaps a very close facsimile.

just wanted you to know, chef john, your videos always bring me great joy! My taste buds thank you especially!

I would cover half in chocolate ;) Mmmmm

A little bit of cayenne in the chocolate is also really good, adding a nice moderate heat to the macaroons.

Lovely recipe, thanks chef john.

Sound good! My first thought was to add some chopped almonds to a few of these when I make them.

Oh damn, why did I have to watch this late at night? Now I have to go make these

I absolutely love these cookies

I made these macaroons. I used the unsweetened coconut. Easy to make. They were a hit! Thank you for the recipe.

My goodness its not even on the website yet Chef John!!! I need it!!! Lol. Waiting patiently...

For some reason this is the first of your videos that has showed up in my subscriptions for quite a while. RU-vid knew I would watch this video because it has chocolate. I never miss a video with chocolate! These look delicious!

Loved the Haystacks Calhoun reference, and cracked up when you said "it's something you'll have to wrestle with."

Chef John = Culinary inspiration

Is anybody else dreading the day Chef John gets a new Silpat?

WOW... LOVE THE COCONUT FLAVORS

Oh My Goodness these are one of my weakness and i cant believe how easy is to make them

Aaaahhhh I love that smooth bottom surface. So nice to look at. I'll give these a go although I think I'll try out white chocolate instead, to go for a Raffaello - type cookie. Thanks for the video! As always

I have enjoyed your cooking videos and sense of humor for a decade now. Thank you so much for continuing to share recipes and provide laughs!

I knew you’d have a macaroon recipe. Thanks so much.

Looks like Mounds of tastiness.

Oh man! Macaroons are my favorite. Reminds me of my college days when I would grab a cup of coffee and a macaroon in between classes. Going to make these once the weather cools down. Like, maybe December.

I’m more of a mounds man myself so this is right up my alley

Chef John, you evil, evil man. I haven't made these in ages and the kids caught me watching this. Guess what I'm going to be doing tomorrow. !!!!

This is our recipe, too. Well, nearly. We also add a tablespoon of cake flour. Sometimes a half teaspoon of almond extract, too. Looks yummy!

These are my go to when my son and his partner come to tea. As she requires a Gluten Free option. And these fit the bill totally. The rest of the family love them too😊

"That's a decision you're gonna have to 'wrestle' with." 🤣😜🤣 I'm dying!!!

Like 100 coments within 15 minutes of posting the video. Thats a RU-vid star right there!

I am going to make these as Christmas gifts for friends. Truly awesome.

I hate coconut, but I'm gonna like the video anyway. This really speaks to my appreciation of Chef John.

I normally hate sweetened coconut treats, but I'll have to try this one since it doesn't sound so sickly sweet!

Not into a big bottom..... On cookies.

I missed you chef John😥😥

Yummy! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and tutorials. Superbly done. 👍😙

Love coconut, love chocolate, had to watch :)

Love the almond idea!

My mom makes a similar type of cookie during the Christmas holiday season, except she doesn't put any chocolate on it (I don't think she uses almond extract either, but she does use the vanilla extract). It's delicious :d

What about a compromise? How about 1/3 sweetened and 2/3 unsweetened? Presumably that would give you the best of both worlds, looks a bit nicer and adds a bit more sweetness without turning it into coconut flavored sugar.

For me coconut macaroons are a christmas cookie, so I will for sure be trying this recipe out next christmas...maybe sooner :P

"raise your hand if you were not going to space them evenly...!" Hahaha! You are funny (I am new here) and I can't wait to make these delicious treats! Thank you!

Chef John's humour is just the best! "Not into big bottoms... on cookies".

Looks like a brazilian recepie! Best country!

OMG i love these cookies. i never even toyed with the idea of making these myself, but no flour no mess! Thanks chef john. also my fave candy bar.

Yummmm, my favorite by far chef thanks for sharing

One of my favorite desserts. I’m gonna have to try this but I’m going to substitute the spatula for a freakishly small wooden spoon.

Made these yesterday and my husband feel in love with them! I added coconut rum to the coconut and almond and kahlua to the chocolate! Really easy to make.

nice vids , easy to understand . My mouth is watering.

I love these.

I raised my hand! :)

I need to make these. This might be the easiest cookie recipe ever.

These look so amazing yet so simple 😍❤️❤️❤️will definitely try your recipe ☺️💕💕thanks for sharing

I love your videos! I have only cooked the sweet potato black bean chili, but I watch most of them.. I need to try some more of these recipes.

Chef John you are a legend. Made these and they are so easy to make and so delicious! Thank you!

Amé su video, amo ese tipo de galletas de coco.

Chef John on point today!

Oh childhood memories! We have those in Sweden too :) Havn't had any in 20+ years though. Writes on my list....

OM...J! My all time favorite candy bar is an almond ( with allot of) joy :-)! I'm going to use the sweetened coconut in the macaroon and then roll them in the unsweetened since the flakes are smaller. Might even get a little wild & crazy and dip them half way!! Gotta go now cause my sweet tooth is calling me!

I'm so glad to see a new Food Wishes video. I was on the verge of going into withdrawal!

Looks delish; I’m betting they taste it, too.

That reference to Haystacks Calhoun was a blast from the past. I remember seeing him at the old Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto back in the 70s. On the bill with Crybaby Cannon, Bobo Brazil, etc. Very entertaining, as was the audience!
