Ingredients

  1. 14 oz shredded coconut (about 5 1/3 cups)
  2. 2/3 cup white sugar
  3. 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
  4. 1/4 tsp salt
  5. 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  6. 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray paper lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl mix together coconut, flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in egg whites and extract until fully incorporated. Mixture should stick together and be able to form a wet ball.

  3. 3

    Drop by tbs onto prepared baking sheet (I fit 24 at a time). Bake 20 minutes or until edges are golden.

  4. 4

    Remove from oven and immediately transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  5. 5

    When cookies are cool, place chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments until fully melted, stirring after each round.

  6. 6

    Dip bottoms of macaroons into chocolate. Allow some excess to drip off and place on wax paper lined baking sheet. Place in refrigerator until chocolate is set.

  7. 7

    Store in an airtight container. Best kept refrigerated. Pull out of fridge at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol. Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
