Directions:
Preheat oven to 325º. Beat egg whites in electric mixer on low. Once whites are broken up, add cream of tartar and sugar. Increase speed to medium and beat until whites are frothy. Fold in condensed milk, vanilla and lemon zest. Add coconut and stir until well incorporated. Let mixture sit for 2-3 minutes. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Drop 12 heaping tablespoons of the batter on each tray, spacing them apart evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool. Melt chocolate in a double boiler over low heat or in the microwave. Dip half of each macaroon into the chocolate. Place on tray to allow chocolate to set. Serve when cooled.

Microwaveable chocolate by "Baker's" is available in the baking aisle and works just as well as the double boiler, and is much easier. If desired, sprinkles add a festive touch.
