Chocolate 05:06 Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals (stirring in between) until completely smooth and melted. Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled macaroons or dip the bottoms in chocolate and transfer to a wax paper lined baking sheet to allow chocolate to solidify before enjoying. Notes Food processor Briefly processing the coconut in the food processor yields a better, finer texture for the macaroons, but this step is not necessary. If you do not have a food processor, you can skip this step and use the shredded coconut directly from the bag. Egg whites Be sure to break your eggs into a completely clean, dry, and grease-free bowl and make sure not even a drop of egg yolk gets in with the whites! Any of these things can keep your eggs from properly whipping to stiff peaks. I recommend using fresh egg whites and not egg whites from a carton, which do not always whip properly. Storing Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Macaroons may also be tightly wrapped and frozen, they will keep for several months this way.
