Yield Makes about 40 macaroons

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil cooking spray
10 egg whites
2 cups unsweetened dried shredded coconut
2 cups plain quick-cooking oats
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons bittersweet chocolate morsels
1 teaspoon trans-fat-free soft-tub margarine

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 3 baking sheets with cooking spray; set aside. Stir egg whites, coconut, oats, vanilla, sugar and salt in a bowl until well blended. Drop tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets, half an inch apart. Bake macaroons until light golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Place chocolate morsels and margarine in a glass bowl or measuring cup. Microwave on high until chocolate melts completely, 40 to 50 seconds, or melt in a 350° oven 5 to 6 minutes. (Do not overheat chocolate or it will scorch.) Dip a metal teaspoon into warmed chocolate and gently drizzle chocolate over cookies in a zigzag pattern. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 days.
