    These are awesome! Super easy to make, I didn't have a level tbsp so I used 2 tsp spoons to make and shape the cookie dough into 1 inch balls (it can get a little sticky, so this was a nice alternative). I also dipped these in white, dark and milk chocolate - melt chocolate to 100C in a double boiler and cool down the chocolate to 89C by adding a few more solid pieces of choc, stir to smooth choco. This will ensure no blooming to the chocolate, and it will dry perfectly on a baking mat.

    So easy! I dipped mine in melted chocolate and mmmmmmm...so good! I brought a couple batches in to work and I had a few people tell me they were the "best macaroons they'd ever had"! Pretty cool considering the simple ingredients and quick prep time. These will be a staple in my cookie arsenal.
