coconut macaroons

found this delicious recipe on the back of a bag of coconut and the result was pretty delicious. 🙂  they taste like little almond joys!

• 5 1/3 c coconut
• 2/3 c sugar
• 6 tbsp flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 egg whites
• 1 tsp almond extract

1. mix coconut, sugar, flour, and salt in large bowl until the coconut is evenly coated.  stir in egg and almond extract until well blended.  drop by well rounded tablespoonfuls onto a non-stick baking sheet.
2. bake at 325° for 20 min. or until edges of cookies are golden brown.  immediately remove from cookie sheets to wire racks.  cool completely.

to make them extra delicious, dip them in chocolate!

1. melt one cup of chocolate chips in a ramekin.  dip macaroons  halfway in chocolate, scrape excess chocolate off the bottom.  place on wax paper lined cookie sheet, refrigerate until chocolate is hardened (30 min.)

enjoy!
