Scale
  • 4 large egg whites

Instructions

  6. Drop rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown around the edges.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Melt the mini chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth and melted.
  10. Dip the cooled macaroons into the melted chocolate, coating them well.
  11. Optionally refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate.
