In a bowl, beat eggs until foamy.

Using a small ice cream scoop, place the mixture by 1/2 a tablespoonful, one inch apart on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown. After the first 10 minutes of baking, rotate the pan and then continue to bake.

Remove the macaroons from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool.

Melt grated or chopped chocolate over a pot of simmering water, stirring until the chocolate is nice, smooth and melted.

When the chocolate is lukewarm, dip the bottom of each macaroons into the chocolate. Place the chocolate dipped macaroons with the chocolate side down on the parchment lined baking tray to dry.

Using a spoon, you can drizzle chocolate on top of the macaroons, if preferred. Let the macaroons sit until the chocolate has dried.
