Ambrosia Macaroons

1 stick unsalted butter, room temp
3/4 c. sugar
1/8 t. salt
2 t. grated orange peel
3 large eggs
6 cups firmly packed sweetened coconut
6 oz. semi sweet baking chocolate, melted

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 3 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add sugar and salt; beat until blended. Beat in orange peel, then eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in coconut. Drop batter onto sheets by tablespoonfuls, spacing 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake 1 sheet at a time until golden on bottom and browned on top, 23-25 minutes. Cool completely on pans. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top.

*These are a little tricky to get off the parchment.
