  3. Whip the egg whites in a clean bowl until they hold stiff peaks, then fold them gently into the coconut mixture.

  4. Scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the baking sheet, 1 inch apart, and pinch each into a tidy mound.

  5. Bake for , until the tops and edges are golden brown. Cool on the pan for , then move the macaroons to a wire rack to cool completely.

  6. Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a small bowl in 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each, until smooth.

  7. Dip the bottom of each cooled cookie in the chocolate, scrape off the extra on the rim of the bowl, and set on parchment until the chocolate hardens, about in the fridge.
