After falling in love with a local bakery's coconut macaroon, I attempted to create a duplicate version at home. This is what I came up with.
Ingredients
- 1 package sweetened , 14 ounce
- 0.33 cups white sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons almond extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 eggs whites , room temperature
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
3
Blend coconut, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt in a food processor until combined, about 30 seconds.
-
4
Beat egg whites in a bowl until soft peaks form.
-
5
Fold coconut mixture into egg whites until just combined.
-
6
Wet your hands. Roll spoonfuls of coconut mixture between palms to golf ball-size cookies; arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
-
7
Bake cookies in the preheated oven until coconut is slightly golden and toasted, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, 30 minutes.
-
8
Line baking sheet with new piece of parchment paper.
-
9
Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
-
10
Dip half of each cookie in the chocolate and place on the prepared baking sheet. Place in refrigerator until chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.
