Baking chocolate macaroons: simple recipe for Christmas baking
Preheat the oven to 150 ° C top / bottom heat (140 ° C convection).
Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Chop or grate the chocolate finely on a kitchen grater (it is best to cool it beforehand so that it does not melt) and mix it with the cocoa and almonds.
Beat the egg whites with salt until stiff.
Gradually let the powdered sugar trickle in and whisk everything into a thick, frothy meringue.
Carefully fold in the chocolate and almond mixture.
Distribute the baking wafers on the baking trays.
Shape the dough with two teaspoons of macaroons and distribute them on the wafers.
Bake the trays with the chocolate macaroons one after the other in the hot oven (middle rack) for 13-15 minutes.
Then take the macaroons out of the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
The
baking time
can vary slightly depending on the oven.
The perfect chocolate macaroons should be crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and have a still soft, moist core.
Finally, if you like, you can melt some chocolate again over a hot water bath and spread it in strips on the macaroons.
A tin can is recommended for storage so that the chocolate macaroons (like other cookies) stay fresh as long as possible.
