Time 1h5m

Yield 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying baking sheet
2 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
4 ounces semisweet chocolate morsels (1/2 cup), melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir to combine the coconut, sugar and salt. Make a well in the center of the bowl and lightly whisk in the egg whites and almond extract until well incorporated with the other ingredients.
  • For each macaroon, spoon up about 2 teaspoons of the coconut mixture and roll into a ball in the palm of your hand, wetting your fingers if necessary. Pinch the top to shape each ball into a pyramid; space the macaroons about 1 inch apart from one another on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until the edges and tops are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheet, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dip the bottom of each macaroon in the chocolate and return to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
