Chocolate-Drizzled Coconut Macaroons

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, mix egg whites, coconut, and sugar. Heat over medium-lowheat, stirring almost constantly, until the mixture comes away from the sides andbottom of the saucepan and looks pasty, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heatand stir in the vanilla and salt.

3. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
4. Use a knife to gently score the chilled dough into 32 pieces (8 by 4 rows). Use a teaspoon to scoop each piece, and place on the pans about 1 inch apart.
5. Bake until macaroons are a pale gold, about 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool on pan 5minutes, then transfer to a cooking rack and cool to room temperature. When macaroons are cool, return to parchment lined baking sheets.
6. Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth. Scoopchocolate into a zip-close bag and snip one corner, about 1/16 of an inch. Gentlysqueeze the bag and drizzle chocolate over macaroons in a decorative pattern. Let cool at room temperature until set, about 2 hours.
