Chocolate Macaroons

Chocolate Macaroons

Tasty treats for all the family - or why not give them as a gift?

Serves 16

Points per serving: 1 (original points)

2 egg whites
50 g almonds, ground
175 g caster sugar
25 g rice, cooked, brown or wild, ground, or semolina
50 g cocoa powder
1/8 tsp vanilla essence, or almond

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 2/150ºC/300ºF. Line two baking trays with baking parchment or greaseproof paper.

Whisk the egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl, until they are stiff and dry. Fold in the ground almonds, sugar, rice or semolina, cocoa powder and almond essence.

Spoon 8 teaspoonfuls of the mixture on to each lined tray. Smooth with the back of a spoon, to form circles.

Bake for 20 minutes. Leave to cool on the baking tray before lifting on to a wire.
