Macaroons

This recipe came from my Aunt Julie while my little family was alone and living in Seattle. I have made them every Christmas since. These are really simple. They turn out soft and chewy. This recipe makes 24 cookies


In a medium bowl mix:

1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt

now add and mix well:

1 tsp vanilla
2 egg whites

now add and mix well:


2, 1/2 cup coconut (I uses sweetened, but you can use unsweetened)


using wet hands form rounded balls and place one inch apart on waxed paper lined cookie sheets.

Bake at 350 for 17 minutes. I let them cool on the cookie sheet. Then dip in melted chocolate chips. Put the chocolate dipped cookies back onto wax paper for the chocolate to harden
