Let's Make: Coconut Macaroon Cookies and The Importance of Milestones in Life

Ingredients:

550 g (2 3/4 cups) Cane Sugar

80 g (2/3 cup) All Purpose Flour

460 g (5 1/4 cups) Desiccated Coconut

2 g (1/2 tsp) Salt

200 g (3/4 cup) Egg Whites

4 g (1 tsp) Vanilla Extract

200 g (1 cup) Dark Chocolate (for dipping. May need more or less depending on usage)

Instructions:

Preheat oven 350F.

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Briefly whisk egg whites to loosen and add to the dry ingredients along with the vanilla extract and stir well to combine.

Onto a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet, use an ice-cream scoop, spoon or your hands, to shape the macaroon cookies into mounds about the size of a ping pong ball. While leaving a bit of space in between for expansion (they might grow by 25% or so).

Bake in preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown, remove, and allow to cool completely before moving onto chocolate land.

Once the macaroons are completely cool, break up your dark chocolate into a double boiler or a pan pan on low and stir until just melted and remove from the heat. Dip each macaroon into the chocolate and place on a non-stick surface to setup, once they are all dipped drizzle some of the remaining chocolate over the top for an extra little bit of chocolate decor and Enjoy!
