1/3 cup Butter or margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups flour
4 large egg whites
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups coconut -- shredded sweetened
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips -- semi-sweet
 

Preparation:

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. Presss evenly over bottom of a 9-inch square pan. Bake crust in a 350~ 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.
