A sweet coconut cookie with a crisp outside and chewy center, finished with a touch of chocolate!
Ingredients
1 package (14 oz.) sweetened, flaked coconut
2/3 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon almond (or vanilla) extract

2. Mix coconut, sugar, flour and salt in a large bowl.
3. Lightly beat egg whites and almond extract together by hand. Add to coconut mixture and mix well.
4. Drop by tablespoonful onto a well-greased and floured baking sheet. Press a finger in the center of each macaroon to form an indent for the nest.
