Time 1h20m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14 ounce) package sweetened, flaked coconut
⅓ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 pinch salt
3 egg whites, room temperature
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Wet your hands. Roll spoonfuls of coconut mixture between palms to golf ball-size cookies; arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Line baking sheet with new piece of parchment paper.
  • Melt chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching.
