Title: Mrs Fields Choconut Macaroons
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 20 servings
1/4 c Sugar
2 tb Pure almond paste
1 c Shredded sweetened coconut
1/3 c Mini semisweet choc chips
3 lg Egg whites
1/2 ts Cream of tartar
Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine almond paste and sugar in a medium
bowl. Using your fingers, work paste into sugar completely. Add
coconut and chocolate chips and stir to combine. In a clean
medium-sized bowl beat egg whites until fluffy using absolutely
clean beaters. Add cream of tartar and beat on high until stiff
peaks form. Add half of beaten egg whites to coconut mixture and
combine to lighten. Fold in remaining whites gently being careful
not to deflate. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto lightly greased
cookie sheets. Bake 20 minutes until tops are lightly browned. Cool
1 minute on cookie sheets before transferring cookies to a cool
surface.
