Serving Size: 12

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Large egg whites
• 1 Pinch salt
• 0.5 Cups (cup) white sugar
• 2 Cups (cup) sweetened flaked coconut
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.5 Cups (cup) semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Steps

1. Preheat your 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 clean, dry glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, beat the egg whites and salt using an electric mixer on medium speed 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 vanilla extract and sweetened flaked coconut into the egg white mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
4. Using a teaspoon, drop rounded spoonfuls 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. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-baking.
6. Remove the macaroons from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once cooled, drizzle the melted semi-sweet chocolate over the macaroons using a spoon or a piping bag for a decorative touch. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
