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 white: In 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 bake: Using 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.
6
Dip the cookies in chocolate: Once 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.
Note: These cookies can be made ahead. Store in airtight containers at room temperature up to 4 days, or freeze in airtight containers up to 3 month.
