Step 2:

In a bowl, add 2 large egg whites, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk all ingredients together until you get a thick mixture. To make the mixing faster, use a handheld whisk.

Place inside the oven at the middle rack with the fan off and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and place on a rack to completely cool.

Melt the chocolate in a bowl. You can put it inside the microwave or use the bain marine method. Once melted, take 2-3 tablespoons and put them in a piping bag. Dip the bottom of the macaroons in the melted chocolate, then place them on a tray with parchment paper. Using the filled piping bag, drizzle some chocolate on top of the macaroons. Leave it to set and enjoy!
