Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray.
- In a bowl stir together coconut flakes, sugar, vanilla, almond extract, and salt. Add egg whites and mix well. (If you don't have almond extract you can double the vanilla but they will taste less almond-y)
- Drop tablespoon-sized mounds onto prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart. (You can also use a cookie scoop for this!) Bake 10-15 minutes until golden on the edges. Allow to cool about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with shaved almonds. Chill macarons for about 10 minutes. You can use kitchen scissors to trim the edges if desired. Store in airtight container.

ALMOND JOY MACAROONS
I got this from the Cuisine at Home Holiday Cookbook. These are delicious! A moist coconut dough is wrapped around an almond hershey kiss. The cookie is chewy on the outside with a chocolate almond surprise inside. It's almost a cross between a cookie and a candy. Mmmmmm.

- Mince 1 1/2 cups of coconut in a food processor and transfer to a bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients, EXCEPT kisses.
- Mix gently with your hands until combined.
- Chill dough at least 1 hour (but no more than 24).
- Shape a heaping tablespoon of dough around a kiss. Make sure it is enclosed completely. (This takes a little practice).
- Place 1 inch apart on lined baking sheet.
- Bake until firm and deep golden on the bottom and light golden on the top--about 16-18 minutes.

- These are a little sticky so I keep them in mini muffin papers or paper bonbon cups.
INSIDE OUT ALMOND JOY MACAROONS
Steps:
- 1. mince 1 1/2 cups of the coconut in a food processor. (processing a portion of the coconut helps the dough hold together for shaping). transfer minced coconut to a bowl. 2. add the remaining coconut to the minced coconut along with the other ingredients (except the chocolate kisses). mix gently with your hands until combined, then chill the dough for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours. 3. shape a heaping tablespoon of dough around a chocolate kiss, enclosing the candy completely. arrange cookies on prepared baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. bake until firm and de3p golden at the base and light golden on top, 16-18 minutes. 4. cool on pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a rack
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your macaroons. Look for almond flour that is finely ground and free of any bitterness. Use good-quality chocolate, and make sure your coconut is fresh and unsweetened.
- Be patient. Macarons take time to make, but they are worth the effort. Don't rush the process, and follow the instructions carefully.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the macarons tough. Mix the batter just until it is smooth and combined.
- Let the macarons rest before baking. This will help them to develop their characteristic chewy texture.
- Bake the macarons at a low temperature. This will help them to bake evenly and prevent them from browning too much.
- Let the macarons cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from melting.
Conclusion:
Inside-out almond joy macaroons are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make, but they do require a little bit of patience. By following the tips above, you can make perfect macarons every time.
