* Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment
paper.
* In a large bowl, combine the egg whites, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
Whisk until well blended and frothy.
* Stir in the coconut. Let stand for 5 minutes.
* With your hands, squeeze rounded tablespoons of the mixture into
balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch
(2.5 cm) apart. Bake until the tops and edges are golden brown, 13 to 15
minutes.
* Let cool completely on the pan, then slide a spatula gently under
each macaroon to loosen and transfer to a plate. * Discard the
parchment and line the baking sheet again with waxed paper.
* In a small heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering
water, add the chocolate. Stir until smooth, about 5 minutes.
* (Alternatively, you can microwave on medium until melted, stopping
and stirring every 30 seconds to make sure the chocolate doesn’t burn.)
* Dip the bottom half of each cookie into the melted chocolate.
* Place the cookies chocolate-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
* Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes.
* Serve the cookies. For any remaining cookies, transfer to an airtight
container and store for a few days.
