Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare 2 baking sheets with either parchment paper or Silpat Mats (I prefer these). Put all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until well blended. If you have a sticky, gooey, chocolaty mess then it’s perfect. Wet your hands with water and pull up a ball the size of a small walnut, and place on prepared pans leaving at least one inch between each cookie. You will probably have to re-wet your hands several times.

Oven

Bake macaroons for 11 minutes. They will still seem a bit squishy when done but they harden up a little as they cool and you want the insides chewy. Don’t worry if the bottoms of the cookies look a bit sticky.

Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The DeLoach Russian River Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.
