Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine condensed milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, salt, and egg white in a bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Add about 2 1/3 cups shredded coconut. Mix with a spatula until mixture is sticky and holds together. Form into balls using a sorbet scoop.
• Roll balls in remaining coconut. Space macaroons evenly onto a silicone-lined baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place 3/4 of the chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the rest of the chocolate until it melts.
• Dip the base of each cooled macaroon about 1/8 inch into the chocolate. Place cookies, chocolate-side down, on parchment paper. Let chocolate harden completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C / Gas Mark 4, no fan.
• Add the egg whites into a large bowl and beat them with a mixer until frothy.
• Mix the egg whites with sugar, vanilla, and salt until combined. Add the shredded coconut and stir with a spoon until well-combined.
• Shape walnut-sized balls of the coconut mixture by pressing it firmly between your palms. It's really important to press the mixture several times so it's really compact. You should get 30 cookies.
• Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The cookies don't have to be spaced apart much - they won't rise. Bake them for about 18 minutes or until golden on top. Don't overbake them or they will be dry. Let them cool on the baking tray.
• While the cookies are baking, melt the chocolate and leave it to cool to let it thicken. When the cookies are mostly cooled, dip them in chocolate. Place dipped cookies on a tray lined with parchment paper, spoon some more chocolate on top of the cookies. Refrigerate the cookies until the chocolate is set.
• Enjoy!

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut, coconut cream, salt, and coconut flavor, stirring till thoroughly combined.
• Add the coconut milk powder, stirring to combine.
• Drop the sticky mixture in ping pong-sized balls (about 1 1/2") onto the prepared baking sheets. It helps to use a tablespoon cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop here.
• For best results, pack the coconut mixture into the scoop; each ball should weigh about 1 ounce.
• You can space the balls fairly close together on the baking sheet; they only need about 3/4" to 1" between them.
• Bake the macaroons for about 10 minutes; they won't brown. You may see the merest hint of brown on top.
• Remove from the oven, and cool completely on the baking sheet.
• To make the coating, heat the chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup until the chips are very soft. A microwave oven works well, as does a saucepan set over very low heat.
• Dip half of each cooled macaroon into the chocolate.
• Set the macaroons back on the baking sheet, and allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.
• To store, place in one layer in a closed container.
• They'll keep for 2 or 3 days, but will gradually become less moist as they sit.
