Ingredients
  

  • 4 Egg Whites
  • 3/4 tsp Vanilla
  • 3/4 tsp Almond extract
  • 1/8 tsp Cream of tartar
  • 1½ Cup Sugar
  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 1/2 Cup Unsweetened coconut Ground in food processor(if desired)

For "snow" topping

  • 1 bag White Chocolate Chips 12 ounces
  • 2 Tbsp Milk or Heavy cream
  • Confectioners Sugar(for a sprinkle of "snow")

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Grind up coconut using a food processor if you want smaller coconut pieces. This step is optional, but I always do it!
  • In a medium bowl or stand mixer, beat the egg whites, vanilla, almond extract, and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add the sugar while whipping, until stiff peaks form.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, and coconut.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture.
  • Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping each one into a small mountain. Dip your fingers in water for this process if you find the batter too sticky to easily work with.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the macaroons are lightly golden.
  • Melt the white chocolate and milk or cream over a double boiler. Or, you can melt it in the microwave 30 seconds at a time until the chocolate chips are completely melted. Dip the cooled macaroons into the melted chocolate, covering the top half.
  • Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar and enjoy!
