Coconut Macaroons


2 large egg whites
Pinch of salt
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3 teaspoons imitation vanilla
4-5 drops almond flavoring
2 bags shredded sweetened coconut (14-ounces each)

·    In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites and salt until frothy, about 2 minutes. Stir in condensed milk, almond flavoring, and vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, fold in coconut until well combined.
·    Heat oven to 300 degrees.
·    Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. Use a cookie scoop to form macaroons into 1 1/4-inch mounds about 1 inch apart.
Bake until macaroons are golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack; let cool completely.  Drizzle with semi-sweet chocolate.
