Ingredients

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter or
margarine, cut up
3/4 cup sugar
1-1/4 cup flour
4 egg whites
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups sweetened coconut, shredded
1-1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

In a food processor or with your fingers, whirl or rub butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 cup flour until dough begins to hold together. Press evenly over bottom of a 9-inch square pan. Bake crust in a 350°F oven until golden, 10-15 minutes.

In a large bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Add vanilla and remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup flour; mix until smooth. Stir in coconut. Sprinkle chocolate in an even layer over pastry. Spoon coconut mixture evenly over chocolate; use a spatula to cover chocolate completely. Continue baking until macaroon topping is golden and slightly wet-looking, about 25 minutes. Cool in pan on rack. Using a very sharp knife, cut into 1-1/2-inch squares.
