Creating Chocolate Kissed Coconut Macaroons is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Coconut and Sugar: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut and granulated sugar. Mix well.
3. Add Egg Whites and Flavoring: Add the egg whites, vanilla extract, and salt to the coconut mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and sticky.
4. Shape Macaroons: Use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop to form small mounds of the mixture on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
6. Cool Completely: Remove from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Melt Chocolate: While the macaroons cool, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, adding coconut oil if desired for a smoother consistency. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.

Once cool, you can dip the bottom of each macaroon in the melted chocolate or drizzle it over the top for a beautiful presentation.
