Dessert: Chocolate-Coconut Macaroons

These popular cookies are spectacular on their own, but to dress them up for a party, we dipped the cloud-like confections in bittersweet chocolate.

Ingredients

2 large egg whites
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 1/2 c. sweetened, shredded coconut
3 1/2 oz. bittersweet chocolate
1 tsp. vegetable oil

Instructions

Prepare the batter: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl with mixer on medium speed, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. With the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar in a steady stream and mix until well blended. Add the vanilla extract and continue to beat until mixture becomes soft and glossy peaks form. Add the flour and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the coconut. Allow the macaroon mixture to rest for 10 minutes.
