How To Make dutch macaroons

• Step 1
  Whisk the egg white in a large, clear bowl until stiff, then fold in the sugar and ground almonds.
• Step 2
  Place the mixture in a large pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch plain tip and pipe fingers 3 inches long onto 2 cookie sheets lined with rice paper, allowing room for expansion during cooking.
• Step 3
  Bake in a preheated oven, 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Remove excess rice paper from round the edges.
• Step 4
  Melt the chocolate and dip the base of each cookie into the chocolate. Place the cookies on a sheet of parchment paper and let set. Drizzle remaining chocolate over the top of cookies. Let set before serving. Rice paper can be found in your local oriental food store.
