Chewy chocolate macaroons final

Chewy Chocolate Macaroons

These chewy chocolate macaroons are pillows of soft coconut with unsweetened cocoa folded in for a rich chocolate flavour. They are a little sweet, with a deep chocolate flavour, and just enough chew to have an interesting texture. Even better, they are quick and easy and done in under 25 minutes!
