Submitted by: admin on April 2, 2020

Makes 48 Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup cream of coconut
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
4 large egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
3 cups (9 ounces) unsweetened shredded coconut
3 cups (9 ounces) sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk cream of coconut, corn syrup, egg whites, vanilla, and salt together in small bowl; set aside. Combine unsweetened and sweetened coconuts in large bowl; toss together, breaking up clumps with fingertips. Pour liquid ingredients over coconut and mix until evenly moistened. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  3. Working with 1 tablespoon of dough at a time, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart. Using moistened fingertips, form dough into loose haystacks. Bake until cookies are light golden brown, about 15 minutes, switching and rotating baking sheets halfway through baking.
  4. Let cookies cool on baking sheets until slightly set, about 2 minutes; transfer cookies to wire rack and let cool to room temperature.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED TRIPLE-COCONUT MACAROONS
Cool baked macaroons to room temperature; line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Chop 10 ounces semisweet chocolate; microwave 8 ounces chocolate at 50 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir chocolate and continue heating until melted, stirring once every additional minute. Stir in remaining 2 ounces of chocolate until smooth. Holding macaroon by its pointed top, dip bottom 1⁄2 inch up sides in chocolate, scrape off excess, and place macaroon on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining macaroons. Refrigerate until chocolate sets, about 15 minutes.

FORMING COCONUT MACAROONS
1. Using fingers, form cookies into loose haystacks. Moisten fingers with water if needed to prevent sticking.
2. If desired, dip bottom half-inch of baked cookies into melted chocolate, tapping off excess chocolate with finger.
