Coconut Macaroon
Ingredients:
- 4 large egg whites
- Splash of almond extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 cups sweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup of chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
YIELD: 15 macaroons
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
With an electric mixer beat egg whites, vanilla and salt until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Add sugar and beat another 2 minutes, until stiff peaks form. Fold in coconut.
Using a small scoop, drop batter onto a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a rack and allow to cool.
