Woah these are so good! Crispy outside with a chewy soft center, these are made all the better with a chocolate drizzle. My only complaint is that these have a sort of eggy taste, like a sweet coconut omlette! But I added some cocoa powder to half of the batch, and it solved the problem. This will be my new macaroon recipe. Thanks for posting!
