Chocolate Coconut Macaroon
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract or imitation coconut extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 18 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (semi-sweet) or finely chopped chocolate
- 3 tablespoons white chocolate chips or finely chopped white chocolate
- Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven, preheat to 250F.
- Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mats, or coat with cooking spray.
- Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, coconut, almond and vanilla extracts and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until combined.
- Gradually beat in sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff, shiny peaks form, about 7 minutes.
- Sift cocoa over the mixture and gently fold together with a rubber spatula until just incorporated.
- Spoon the meringue into a gallon-size sealable bag (or pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch tip).
- Seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible.
- If you are using a bag, then cut a 1/2-inch hole in one corner of the bag.
- Pipe the meringue into 2-inch circles, about 1 inch apart, on the prepared baking sheets.
- Make about 30 macaroons.
- Bake on the upper and lower racks for 50 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the meringues stand in the oven with the door closed until completely dry, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Melt semisweet and white chocolate separately and drizzle or pipe onto the cooled meringues.
- Let stand until it sets.
- Store in an air-tight container or freeze for up to 3 months.
