Serving Size: 12
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 Large egg whites
- 1 Pinch salt, to taste
- 0.5 Cups white sugar
- 2 Cups sweetened flaked coconut
- 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) almond extract
- 0.5 Cups dark chocolate chips, melted
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- In a small glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, beat the egg whites and salt together using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat at high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold in the almond extract and sweetened flaked coconut into the egg white mixture, ensuring the coconut is evenly coated.
- Using a teaspoon, drop mounds of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the edges of the macaroons are a light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the macaroons cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the macaroons for an added touch of decadence. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
