Preheat the oven to 325° F. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat and set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix coconut flakes, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Separate your egg and place the egg white and salt in a medium bowl. Use a hand mixer and mix for 1 minute on high speed or until stiff peaks form.

Add the egg whites to the coconut mixture and fold it in until fully incorporated.

Use a spoon or a medium-sized cookie scoop and place 2 tablespoons of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet at least 1 inch apart. With clean hands form the mounds so they have a peak on top. Repeat with the remaining coconut mixture.

Bake for 22 - 24 minutes or until the macaroons are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and place the cookie sheet on a cooling rack to cool.

While the macaroons are cooling place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate chips by microwaving for 30-second intervals and stir. Repeat until fully melted.

Dip each baked macaroon into the melted chocolate and place them back onto the parchment paper or silicone liner on the cookie sheet.

Pour the remainder of the melted chocolate into a small ziplock bag.

Cut a very small hole in the corner of the bag and drizzle the melted chocolate over the macaroons.

Allow the chocolate to set for 30 minutes or in the fridge for 15 minutes.
