Makes ~100, depending on the size you make them.

- Ingredients
    + 7-8 egg whites
        * Note: The size of the eggs is fairly important here. If you
          use too much egg white, the macaroons will become very flat
          when baking them.
    + 500g sugar
    + 500g ground almonds
    + 300g grated chocolate
        * Note: I always use dark chocolate because the macaroons are
          already sweet enough anyways.
    + 45mL lemon juice
- Instructions
    + Stir egg whites together with sugar (but don't beat the egg whites).
    + Stir in the lemon juice.
    + Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
