Video of me making these on TV last year:
Macaroons
2 1/2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
2 egg whites
1 Tablespoon melted butter or margarine
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 oz semi-sweet bakers chocolate
(optional) sprinkles, almonds, Jordan almonds
Directions:
Combine coconut, melted butter, egg whites, almond and vanilla extract.
Using a Tablespoon, form into balls
Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, turning the sheet at 8 minutes so the macaroons brown evenly.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Melt chocolate.
Dip macaroons into chocolate (and sprinkles if desired)
Place on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Insert almonds (if desired).
Put sheet in refrigerator to allow chocolate to harden.
