Ingredients
- For the macaroons
- 4 egg whites
- 1 pinch salt
- 250 grams sugar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 200 grams ground almonds
- 50 grams Coconut flakes
- 3 drops Almond extract
- For decorating
- 100 grams Mocha flavored chocolate
Preparation steps
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and lemon juice and continue beating until for about 10-15 minutes, until stiff and glossy. Fold in the ground almonds, coconut flakes and almond extract.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag affixed with a large, round tip and pipe 7 cm (approximately 3 inch) long rods onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 150°C (approximately 300°F) for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Coarsely chop the mocha flavored chocolate and melt in a double boiler or heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Transfer the melted chocolate to a freezer bag, snip the corner tip off and pipe the chocolate onto the cooled cookies. Allow the chocolate to harden and serve.
