Chocolate-Drizzled Coconut Macaroons Recipe
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 7 ounces sweetened shredded coconut (about 2 2/3 cups)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- Fill a large saucepan with 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low so the water is just simmering.
- Whisk together the sugar, egg whites, honey, vanilla, and salt in a large heatproof bowl.
- Set the bowl over, but not touching, the simmering water.
- Heat, whisking frequently, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture looks thicker, paler, and is hot to the touch, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the coconut and flour.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir the dough and drop level tablespoons onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Store the remaining dough in the refrigerator.
- Bake until the cookies are light golden brown around the edges and set in the centers, rotating the sheet halfway through, about 12 to 15 minutes total.
- Place the pan on a wire rack and let the cookies sit for 1 minute.
- Transfer the cookies to the wire rack to cool completely.
- Using a cooled baking sheet and the same sheet of parchment, repeat with the remaining dough.
- Set aside the parchment to use for drizzling the chocolate over the cooled cookies.
- Place the cooled cookies on the reserved parchment sheet (they can be touching).
- Melt the chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat.
- (Alternatively, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave.)
- Dip a fork into the chocolate and drizzle it over the macaroons in a zigzag pattern.
- Let the cookies sit at room temperature until the chocolate has set, about 30 minutes.
- Store the macaroons in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
