From a recipe on the NYT Cooking app. It uses a mix of shredded and flaked coconut which gives the end result a nice combination of absorption and texture. Many recipes including this one call for sweetened coconut, but I (and many comments on the recipe) think it's fine with unsweetened.

macaroons are awesome. I prefer a real dark chocolate on them and dipping but I would not say no to these. I love treats that at least have some nutrition.

Yeah, the stripes look cool but I prefer the amount of chocolate on the more-covered ones, so I'll probably dip next time.

Thanks! I got most of the way through the recipe and realized it called for bittersweet chocolate, whereas I only had chocolate chips and unsweetened baking chocolate. But I just mixed them and it came out tasty.
