   3. Add the sugar and ground almonds. Carefully add them so you don't over-whisk and loose the airy structure of the egg whites.

   4. Prepare a tray with parchment paper. I always cover the paper with a drop of oil so the cookies slide off easily.

   5. Bake cookies in the oven for 20 minutes.

   6. Melt the chocolate in the microwave, in 30 second increments, stirring after each to ensure that it doesn't burn.

   This could get messy but I just melted some chocolate, poured it into a soup bowl and then dipped the cookies in whilst holding them with my fingers. As they rise a few centimeters I didn't have problems holding on to them without getting my fingers in the chocolate. I did put the cookie on its head so the chocolate side was facing upwards. That way it can dry and it won't stick.
