Yield Makes about 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups sweetened flaked coconut (4 oz)
1 cup finely grated unsweetened coconut (3 oz)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites
2 teaspoons water
30 (1/2-inch) squares fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened; from a 3 1/2-oz bar)
About 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Pulse sweetened and unsweetened coconuts, granulated sugar, and salt together in a food processor until flaked coconut is finely chopped. Add whites and water and pulse until mixture is moistened and holds together when squeezed.
  • Roll level tablespoons of coconut mixture into balls with wet hands (you'll need to rinse your hands every 3 or 4 balls). Make an indentation in center of each ball and insert a piece of chocolate, then pinch hole closed and reroll into a ball. Arrange balls 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined large baking sheet.
  • Bake macaroons in middle of oven until bottoms are golden and balls are puffed but still white, 13 to 15 minutes. Slide macaroons on parchment to a rack to cool completely, then peel off paper. Dust macaroons lightly with confectioners sugar just before serving.
