Chocolate Macaroons

 A slightly fancier cookie that’s super easy to make and mmm, mmm good, even if you’re not a huge coconut fan (though if you’re seriously opposed you probably won’t like ‘em).    

• 4 oz semisweet chocolate
• ¼ c. unsweetened cocoa
• ¾ c. sugar
• 2 ½ c. shredded coconut
• 3 large egg whites (cook the yolks and feed ‘em to the young-uns)
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• pinch salt

Melt chocolate.

Beat egg whites slightly.

Combine all.

Drop in loose “haystacks” of about 1 ½ Tbs. on parchment paper-lined cookie sheets.

Bake till just firm but still soft in the middle (15-20 min. at 350).

Let cool on baking sheet.
