Prep: 15 min; Bake: 12 to 14 min per sheet; Cool: 30 min; Stand: 30 min
_ (7-ounce) packages (each) flaked coconut (7 2/3 cups)
_ cup all-purpose flour
___ teaspoon salt
_ (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
___ cup canned cream of coconut (not coconut milk)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
___ teaspoon almond extract
_ large egg
_ (6-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup), if desired
_ tablespoon vegetable oil, if desired
1. Heat oven to 350°. Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil or cooking parchment paper.
2. Sprinkle 1 cup of the coconut over aluminum foil. Bake 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown; cool. Reserve aluminum foil for baking cookies.
3. Mix toasted coconut, remaining coconut, the flour and salt in large bowl. Beat milk, cream of coconut, vanilla, almond extract and egg in medium bowl until well mixed. Pour milk mixture over coconut mixture; stir until well mixed.
4. Drop mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto foil on cookie sheet.
5. Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown (cookies will be soft in center and set at edges). Immediately slide aluminum foil with cookies from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
6. Heat chocolate chips and oil in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until chips are melted. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand about 30 minutes or until chocolate is set.
*If using self-rising flour, omit salt.
Types of Coconut
Did you know that there are different types of coconut at the grocery store? Both flaked and shredded coconut are available. Flaked coconut is cut into small pieces and is much drier than shredded coconut. In fact, if you squeeze a handful of shredded coconut, it would stick together a bit; but flaked coconut, being dry like uncooked rice kernels, would not stick together. Either type works in this macaroon recipe, but shredded coconut will make the cookies more moist and chewy. You may find unsweetened coconut available in some supermarkets, but we do not recommend it in this recipe.
