Coconut-Almond Macaroons

(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, broken into small pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of coarse salt
  • 1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment. Whisk together sugar and egg white in a large bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients.

  2. Form dough into eight 2-tablespoon mounds, and drop each onto sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake macaroons until golden-brown on bottoms and edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks, and let cool. Using a spoon, drizzle melted chocolate over cooled macaroons.

  3. Macaroons will keep, covered, for up to 1 week.
