Ingredients

2 2/3 cups sweetened flaked coconut 7 oz.
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp. salt
3 egg whites
½ tsp. vanilla extract
¼ tsp. almond extract
1 cup chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Lightly grease and flour your cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the coconut, sugar, flour, and salt. Add the egg whites, vanilla extract, and almond extract, then mix until evenly combined.
Drop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets in rounded one-tablespoon portions, spacing them about two inches apart.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer the macaroons to a wire rack to cool completely.
Place the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
Spread out a large sheet of wax paper. Dip the bottoms of the cooled macaroons into the melted chocolate and place them on the wax paper. Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the tops of the macaroons.
Let the chocolate set completely, then pack and store the macaroons in an airtight container.
