Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine condensed milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, salt, and egg white in a bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Add about 2 1/3 cups shredded coconut. Mix with a spatula until mixture is sticky and holds together. Form into balls using a sorbet scoop.
- Roll balls in remaining coconut. Space macaroons evenly onto a silicone-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place 3/4 of the chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the rest of the chocolate until it melts.
- Dip the base of each cooled macaroon about 1/8 inch into the chocolate. Place cookies, chocolate-side down, on parchment paper. Let chocolate harden completely.

Tips:
- Use fresh shredded coconut: Fresh shredded coconut has a much better flavor and texture than dried coconut. If you can't find fresh shredded coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut that has been soaked in milk for 30 minutes.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixed batter will result in tough macaroons. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
- Chill the batter before baking: Chilling the batter will help the macaroons to hold their shape better. Chill the batter for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the macaroons until they are just set: The macaroons should be slightly golden brown on the bottom and just set in the center. If you overbake the macaroons, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the macaroons cool completely before enjoying: The macaroons will continue to set as they cool. Let them cool completely before enjoying.
