Mint Chocolate Chip Macaroon Recipe

This macaroon recipe was inspired by a product I received for review but all opinions expressed are my own.

I am bringing lunch to a friend this afternoon for a bit of a ‘girls lunch in’. Who says we need to hit a restaurant for an afternoon of socialization, right? Of course, along with lunch I have to bring some dessert. Well, I guess I don’t HAVE to but really, no good gossip session is complete without chocolate! This macaroon recipe was incredibly easy to make and they came out a tad bit chewy and with a wonderful flavor. The thing I love about baking from scratch is that I can pick and choose the quality of the ingredients that go into my recipes. Today’s cookies feature eggs from a friend who has her own chickens, organic cocoa powder, and raw non GMO cane sugar. I used some peppermint extract and chocolate extract that I received from Nielsen-Massey and can honestly say that the fudgy, minty flavor in this macaroon recipe is just slightly addictive. I would happily eat more right now as they cool on my counter but my friend might wonder where the dessert was that I promised to bring! I hope you enjoy this easy macaroon recipe and if you have any other flavor suggestions for macaroons I would love to hear them. These were so easy to make and I would love to play around with the flavors!
