Tools

Preparation

1

Add the coconut and condensed milk:Preheat oven to 325 F. Place rack in the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

In a medium bowl, add coconut mix, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla

2

Combine: Combine the coconut mix, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Set aside.

3

Beat the egg whiteIn the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg white (1) until stiff peaks form. Use a large rubber spatula to fold the egg white into the coconut mixture.

Cut the glazed cherries in halves. 

4

Form the macaroons and bakeUsing a mini ice cream scoop or two spoons, form heaping tablespoons of the mixture into mounds on the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart. Top each macaroon with a half glazed cherry.  Bake for 23 to 25 minutes until the tops and edges are golden. Let cool on the pans for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cook completely.

5

Melt chocolate: Add about 2 inch of water to a small pot and bring to a boil. Place a glass bowl that is slightly larger than the pot on the boiling water.  Place the chocolate in the bowl and melt stirring constantly with a spoon to avoid burning the chocolate.

Dip the cookies in chocolateOnce the chocolate is melted, dip each macaroon in the chocolate. Place the macaroon on a cooling rack and let them cool until the chocolate is firm.
