This week as you have seen, I have been in full Easter mode. It’s been really therapeutic & with the issues I have been having with the blog being down & slow & all sorts of other issues, I have been finding things to keep me busy. One of the things I have been meaning to make for a long while is Macaroons. I started with this particular recipe but really when they were all said & done- they were more like a meringue with some coconut in them. I will probably re-do them at some point using double the coconut. But you know- they still tasted quite good so I thought I would share them anyway.
I’m not all that crazy about the image but the kids ate them all before I had a chance to re-shoot. It’s just one of those things I guess. I almost didn’t post them but I sort of gave you a teaser on Sunday so I didn’t want to leave you hanging. But now I really do need to make these again just so I can retry the picture.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened coconut
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- dash of salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp shortening
Instructions
- Beat egg whites, salt & vanilla in stand mixer on high until soft peaks form.
- Gradually beat in sugar, turn on high & beat until stiff & glossy.
- Fold in coconut.
- Drop in rounded spoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes.
- Cool on cookie sheet 5 minutes- transfer to wire rack.
- Combine chocolate chips & shortening in glass bowl.
- Microwave in 30 second increments stirring in-between each cycle until chocolate is melted.
- Dip each cookie in chocolate & set upside down on wire rack.
- Sprinkle with desired decorations before chocolate hardens.
- Store in airtight container for up to 1 week.

Hi there! Thanks for hosting

OH my goodness what a yummy post.. Looks so good my friend.

Those look sooooo good!
Those do look amazing. I initially clicked on the link in Google+ because I’m following you there and it said the link wasn’t active so I hopped over here to find out what this yummy picture was all about! So for the meme do we share anything we’ve made, or is it a best recipe? How does it work? Thanks. I’m new on Twitter too so I’m going to hop over there and follow!
Holy cow! I’m so hungry looking at this post! You ladies are putting me to shame with all these goodies. I really need to get back into baking. I do enjoy it, but never make the time these days. These recipes look amazing!
Wowie wowie! I could so sit down and polish off these this Saturday!
Thanks for sharing this with us at “In and Out of the Kitchen Link Up Party”
