Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. Grind the almonds in a food processor, and set aside. In a large bowl beat egg whites until stiff. Alternately fold in the sugar and ground almonds; then gently fold in the melted chocolate and the coconut. Drop from a teaspoon onto cookie sheets, leaving 1/2 inch between macaroons. Bake 20 minutes, or until light golden brown.
