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

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
2. 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. This process should take about 5 minutes.
3. Gently fold in the almond extract and sweetened flaked coconut into the egg white mixture, ensuring the coconut is evenly coated without deflating the egg whites.
4. Using a teaspoon, drop mounds of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the edges of the macaroons are a light golden brown.
6. Remove from the oven and let the macaroons cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once cooled, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the macaroons using a spoon or a piping bag for a decorative touch. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Enjoy these delightful Almond-Infused Coconut Macaroons with a cup of tea or coffee for a perfect afternoon treat!
