# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in one bowl with no mixer, no fuss, just your hands and a spoon.
  • The contrast between chewy coconut and snappy dark chocolate feels like a small luxury every time.
  • They keep for days without losing their texture, so you can bake once and enjoy all week.
02 -
  • Don't skip cooling the macaroons completely before adding chocolate, or the heat will make the chocolate slide right off.
  • If your mixture feels too dry, add another egg white—it should hold together when pressed but not be soupy.
03 -
  • Use a small ice cream scoop to keep the macaroons uniform in size—they'll bake more evenly and look polished.
  • If the chocolate gets too thick while drizzling, reheat it gently for a few seconds to loosen it up again.
