Cream Cheese Macaroons

Macaroons are a classic, usually naturally gluten-free option for Christmas cookies.  This was a new version for me this year and I'm loving them!  : )

Ingredients:

• 1 package cream cheese (250g), softened
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 4 cups coconut
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
• 1 bar (approx. 150g) of dark chocolate (or any other type of chocolate of your choice)

Directions:

1. Beat the cream cheese and vanilla until smooth.
2. Stir in the coconut.
3. Form into 1" balls and place on a baking sheet.  Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and chocolate bar.
5. Roll the balls in the melted chocolate until fully coated and place them on a lined baking sheet.
6. Put them back in the fridge until the chocolate solidifies.
