Ingredients
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk - 14 ounces
- 3 egg whites
- 1 Tablespoon of vanilla
- 1 large package of coconut - 14 to 16 ounces
- 4 squares of Chocolate bark - melting chocolate
- 2 Tablespoons of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400.
- In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the egg whites and vanilla, and beat the egg whites until they start to form peaks.
- Remove the mixing bowl, and add the sweetened condensed milk, and coconut, and fold the ingredients together.
- Drop the macaroon mixture onto the parchment paper by the tablespoonful.
- Bake until cookies turn golden brown; about 12 - 15 minutes. (If cookies are not golden brown, leave another minute or two, watching constantly.)
- Remove the cookies from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
- In a microwave safe bowl, place the Chocolate bark and chocolate chips, and melt at 15 second intervals, stirring after each 15 seconds.
- When the chocolate begins to melt, remove it from the microwave, and stir until smooth.
- Add the heavy cream and stir. (If the chocolate is a little thick, place in the microwave and melt for another 10 seconds, remove and stir until smooth.)
- While the chocolate is still warm, dip the bottoms of the coconut macaroons in the chocolate, and place on parchment paper for 1-2 hours or until the chocolate cools and sets on the cookies.
- Remove the cookies from the parchment paper, and serve immediately.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 5 days.
