Notes
Adapted from: The Comfort of Cooking
- Line your baking sheet with parchment so that the macaroons are easy to remove.
- Because ovens can run at different temperatures, check your macaroons after 15 minutes of baking.
- Let them cool before adding the chocolate, and let the chocolate set fully before storing them.
