These macaroons are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The chocolate coating is the perfect finishing touch.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my macaroons turned out flat and dense. They didn't look anything like the pictures.

These macaroons were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

My macaroons didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a little dry. I think I overbaked them.
