Ingredients
  1. 1 (14-ounce) bag sweetened flaked coconut
  2. 1⁄2 cup chopped roasted salted cashews
  3. 1⁄2 cup sugar
  4. 1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
  5. 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
  6. 3 large egg whites
  7. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  8. 10 ounces bittersweet or
  9. semisweet chocolate, such as Ghirardelli
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together coconut, cashews, sugar, flour, and salt. Add egg whites and vanilla; stir until well combined. Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons coconut mixture, and drop onto prepared pan, spacing 1 inch apart. Using slightly damp fingers, gently press into 2-inch rounds.
  3. Bake until lightly browned around edges, approximately 18 minutes. Remove from oven. Let macaroons stand on pan for 2 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
  4. Melt chocolate according to package directions; spoon into a small bowl. Place a sheet of wax paper on a work surface. Dip each cooled macaroon halfway in chocolate, scraping excess on edge of bowl. Place on wax paper; let stand in a cool dry place until chocolate is set and macaroons can be easily removed from wax paper, approximately 2 hours. Store, covered, up to 5 days.
