Yield Makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 large egg whites
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 1/3 cups sugar
4 cups long-shred unsweetened coconut (about 6 ounces), lightly toasted
3/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted, cooled, ground
12 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place egg whites in large bowl; scrape in seeds from vanilla bean. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until meringue is very thick (similar to marshmallow creme), about 5 minutes. Fold in coconut, then almonds. Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, spacing mounds 1 1/2 inches apart.
  • Bake macaroons until pale beige outside and dry-looking (insides will still be soft), about 25 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to racks; cool macaroons completely. Transfer macaroons to work surface; re-line pans with clean parchment.
  • Place chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water. Stir chocolate until smooth; remove from over water. Dip bottom of 1 macaroon into melted chocolate to depth of 1/4 inch. Place on prepared sheet, chocolate side down. Repeat dipping with remaining macaroons. Chill until chocolate is firm, about 1 hour. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated. Let macaroons stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.)

I'm not a huge fan of macaroons, but these were really good. The chocolate dipping made them even better.

These macaroons were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my macaroons turned out flat. They still tasted good, but they didn't look very appetizing.

These macaroons were a bit dry, but they were still good. I think I'll add a little more milk next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the macaroons turned out great. They were moist and chewy, and the chocolate dipping was the perfect touch.
