Servings 24 cookies
Calories 240 kcal

Equipment

  • 1 #30 cookie scoop 1 ounce (2 Tablespoons) capacity

Ingredients
  

  • 284 grams cream of coconut
  • 40 grams light corn syrup
  • 120 grams egg whites, about 4 large egg whites
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher salt, or 1/4 teaspoon Morton's Kosher salt
  • 227 grams unsweetened desiccated coconut,
  • 227 grams sweetened shredded coconut
  • 283 grams bittersweet or milk chocolate, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together cream of coconut, corn syrup, egg whites, vanilla, and salt in small bowl; set aside. Combine unsweetened and sweetened coconuts in large bowl; toss together, breaking up clumps with fingertips. Pour liquid ingredients into coconut and mix with rubber spatula until evenly moistened. Chill dough for 15 minutes.
  • Scoop dough using a one ounce (2 tablespoon) size cookie scoop, spacing them about 1 inch apart on parchment lined baking sheet. Form cookies into loose haystacks with fingertips, moistening hands with water as necessary to prevent sticking. Bake until light golden brown, about 18-20 minutes, turning cookie sheets from front to back and switching from top to bottom racks halfway.
  • Cool cookies on cookie sheets, set over wire cooling racks.
  • Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Melt about 3/4 of the chocolate (212 grams) in small heatproof bowl set over pan of almost-simmering water, stirring once or twice, until smooth. (To melt chocolate in microwave, heat at 50 percent power for 2 minutes and stir. If chocolate is not yet entirely melted, heat an additional 30 seconds at 50 percent power.) Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1/4 of the chocolate (71 grams) until smooth. Holding macaroon by pointed top, dip bottom and ½ inch up sides of each cookie in chocolate, scrape off excess with finger, and place on cookie sheet. Refrigerate until chocolate sets, about 15 minutes.
