Ingredients: 2 2/3 cups flake coconut, firmly packed
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup unbleached flour

Directions: |
Directions:Combine coconut, sugar and flour. Stir in egg whites, almonds, vanilla and almond extract. Drop by rounded tablespoons 2 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet ( or use parchment paper). Bake at 325º for 20-25 minutes until golden. Remove from pans while hot. Melt chocolate in double boiler, stirring until completely melted.* Dip one edge of cookie into chocolate; set on wax paper to allow chocolate to set.
* Using Baker's or another dipping chocolate, melted in the microwave in a cardboard container, is a much simpler way to dip the cookies. Same as with the biscotti. |

Notes: Jenn was visiting our house in Leesburg during a Christmas season. I was making cookies, biscotti, I think. I had to use only egg yolks and had 4 egg whites just wasting. Jenn decided we should make something with the egg whites, so she went onto the computer and found this recipe on www.cooks.com. What a find! Daddy said he never was able to make a successful macaroon. We have made these for Jenn to take to her office, I've taken them to mine, used them for my cookie exchange...they are great. The only problem with them is not being able to keep your hand out of the cookie tin, that is if you like coconut. If you don't like coconut, you should try them anyway!
