Makes ~100, depending on the size you make them.
- Ingredients
+ 7-8 egg whites
* Note: The size of the eggs is fairly important here. If you
use too much egg white, the macaroons will become very flat
when baking them.
+ 500g sugar
+ 500g ground almonds
+ 300g grated chocolate
* Note: I always use dark chocolate because the macaroons are
already sweet enough anyways.
+ 45mL lemon juice
- Instructions
+ Stir egg whites together with sugar (but don't beat the egg whites).
+ Stir in the lemon juice.
+ Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
