Chocolate Macaroons
I make macaroons every year at Passover. They never look like I want them to look. This year I opted out of the annual recipe and went for the chocolate macaroon recipe from Saveur. These are really good. They still spread a little but I can deal.
This makes about two dozen
4 1/2 cups shredded, unsweetened coconut
1 1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1 1/2 tbsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
6 egg whites
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix together all the ingredients except the chocolate chips in a medium sized sauce pan. Mix over a medium low heat for about 6 minutes. The mixture will get thoroughly mixed together and sticky. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
Mix in the chocolate chips. Using a tablespoon to create a round drop cookie and put them on the cookie sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes or until crisp. Cool and eat.

These sounded incredible with the melted chocolate mixed into the coconut: http://smittenkitchen.com/b…P.S. As a heads up, in the off chance you don’t already know: the site was down the other day and there’s been some issues with comments. For instance, my comment on a post doesn’t show up on my end. When I it again, I had the same issue.
FYI, there’s a typo in your headline (macroon)
fixed!
These look incredibly simple compared to the production usually required. Thanks for sharing; looking forward to making these for the family. (By the way – love the new look of the website)
