macaroons, two ways!

my sweet tooth got the best of me this week, two ways!  i had this wild craving for a sweet, chewy macaroon but was also dreaming about jam-y coconut cookies (is that even a thing?).  and chocolate. alas, there would be no settling in this equation, i needed all three.  and so: macaroons two ways!  it took me a couple batches to get the proportions of everything right, to achieve the sweet sticky goodness of the macaroons i remember (without eggs).  but i did it and it was so worth all of the laborious taste-testing (ha!). i also used the leftover chocolate for dipping strawberries.  i may or may not have gained five pounds in the making of this post.  you're welcome!  xx- sarah  {more after the jump}
