ORANGE COCONUT MACAROONS DRIZZLED IN CHOCOLATE
This is a match made in heaven. Fresh orange zest in coconut macaroons with chocolate! I made these with citrus thinking of spring and it was for my Passover dinner since there is no leavening in them. It was a big hit! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.

CHOCOLATE DRIZZLED COCONUT MACAROONS
Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan stir together the egg whites, sugar, salt, vanilla, and coconut, sift in the flour and stir the mixture until it is combined well. Cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, increase the heat to moderately high, and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for 3 to 5 minutes more, or until it is thickened and begins to pull away from the bottom and side of the pan. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, let it cool slightly, and chill it, its surface covered with plastic wrap, until it is just cold. Drop heaping teaspoons of the dough 2 inches apart onto parchment paper and bake the macaroons in batches in the middle of a preheated 300'F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are pale golden. Transfer the macaroons to a rack and let them cool. In a small metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate, stirring until it is smooth, remove the bowl from the heat, and scoop the chocolate into a pastry bag fitted with a small, round tip. Drizzle the chocolate over the macaroons. Chill the macaroons to set the chocolate. The macaroons keep, chilled and separated by layers of wax paper, in an airtight container for 3 days.
Tips:
- For the best macaroons, use fresh, unsweetened shredded coconut. Avoid using sweetened or flaked coconut, as they will not yield the same texture and flavor.
- Make sure to beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks before adding the sugar. This will help to create a light and airy meringue, which is essential for successful macaroons.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the macaroons tough.
- Drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheets using a teaspoon or a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Make sure to space the macaroons about 2 inches apart so that they have room to spread.
- Bake the macaroons at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the bottom and set in the center.
- Let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheets before drizzling them with chocolate.
