Ingredients

• 1 - 14-oz bag of sweetened flaked coconut, such as Baker's Angel Flake
• 3/4 cup + 2 Tbs. sweetened condensed milk 
• 1 ½ tsp. Almond Extract
• 2 large eggs whites
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces (Or more if desired) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone liner. These will stick to foil.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and Almond extract. Set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. (Don’t be intimidated, this is actually easy-peasy!)
5. Use a spatula to fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture. 
6. Using a cookie scoop or two spoons to form heaping tablespoons of the mixture into dollops on the prepared baking sheets, approximately 1 inch apart. 
7. Bake for 23 to 25 minutes until the tops and edges are golden. 
8. Let cool on the pans for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (If you find they want to stick to The parchment, just let them sit until completely cooled. It won’t hurt a thing.) 
9. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds at a time, stopping to stir after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and dippable. (Be careful to not microwave too long or you’ll burn the chocolate and it will be clumpy, disgusting, and you’ll have to start over!)
10. Dip each macaroon into the chocolate covering the bottoms and a smidge up the sides and then place it back onto the parchment sheets to harden.
