Ingredients
  

  • 4 Egg Whites
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 tsp Almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 1/2 Cup Unsweetened coconut Ground in food processor(if desired)
  • 1 1/4 Cup Sugar
  • 1 4oz bar Premium Baking White Chocolate Ghirardelli or Lindt are good choices

Instructions
 

  • Grind unsweetened coconut in food processor(if desired). You can skip this step if you don't have a food processor. The look of the macaroon will be different, but the taste will be the same.
  • In a large bowl, beat egg whites, vanilla, almond extract and salt with a hand mixer. Add remaining ingredients and beat until well blended.
  • Cook mixture in large sauce pan over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove dough from pan and place in a separate bowl to cool.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 2 Tablespoons of dough into rounds and place about 1 inch apart on the cookie sheet. Using damp fingers, shape the dough into little mountains.
  • Bake for 18- 20 minutes or until the edges and top are golden brown. Cool completely.
  • Grate a small amount of the chocolate bar with a fine grater and set aside.
  • Melt remaining chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring in between until the chocolate is just melted.
  • Dip the tops of the cookies into the melted chocolate and lightly sprinkle with grated chocolate.
