Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

For Dipping:

  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips melted
  • Pistachios walnuts, pecans, chopped
  • Candied ginger chopped
  • Flaked or shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Beat the egg whites in a bowl until foamy. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well.
  • Form half-egg shapes by pressing together the coconut mixture (the mixture will be sticky - this is normal). Place coconut macaroons on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow macaroons to cool 5 minutes before using a spatula to lift them off of the cookie sheet.
  • Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir chocolate chips, and microwave at 15-second intervals, stirring the chocolate in between intervals, until melted (about 1 minute to 1 minute and 15 seconds total). Allow the chocolate to cool and thicken slightly.
  • Dip the bottoms or the tops of the macaroons in chocolate, then sprinkle the wet chocolat with desired toppings, such as chopped nuts, candied ginger, or flaked coconunt.
  • Place macaroons on their sides on a plate to dry.
