Serving Size: 48

Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 Large egg whites, whisked
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) almond extract
• 0.125 Teaspoon (tsp) cream of tartar
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 0.25 Cup all-purpose flour, sifted
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 2.5 Cups flaked coconut, sweetened
• 0.5 Cup dark chocolate chips, melted

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with vegetable oil using a paper towel.
2. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites, vanilla extract, almond extract, and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
3. In a separate bowl, toss together the flour, salt, and coconut. Gently fold this mixture into the egg whites until just combined.
4. Using a medium cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the macaroons are slightly golden. For a more toasted finish, increase the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for the last 2 minutes.
6. Allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for easy removal.
7. Once cooled, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the macaroons. Let the chocolate set before serving.

Enjoy these delightful macaroons with a cup of tea or coffee for a perfect afternoon treat!
