Recipe - Chocolate Dipped Macaroons

OMG I just got done making these WONDERFUL little pieces of heaven! My house smells of fresh baked Macaroons and I'm still at it! The recipe below made for me just a bit less then 3 dozen cookies. It also tells how to chocolate dip them but I found this recipe works just as well on it's own without doing the chocolate. Dipping them in chocolate just means you make a different variation of the cookie, in this case not making them better or worse, just different.

The original recipe can be found at Gludenfreeda

GF Chocolate Dipped Macaroons

Ingredients

4 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups coconut
1/2 cup gf flour
1 cup dark gf chocolate

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

With an electric mixer, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla and mix well. Add powdered sugar gradually, beating after every addition. Beat until stiff and glossy. Fold in coconut and flour, mixing well.

Drop batter from a teaspoon onto a buttered and floured cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Melt chocolate slowly in a double boiler over boiling water. Water should not touch pan.

Dip tips of cooled macaroons in chocolate and place on waxed or parchment paper to set.
