Preheat oven to 400°.
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Mix all three ingredients together and spoon or scoop out (I use a melon scoop) onto paper about 2 inches apart.
Bake until edges get slightly brown, about 10 minutes. (Oven temperatures vary; do not over bake or they will be dry.)
Optional: Melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in microwave 30 seconds at a time until melted.
Add several shavings of paraffin wax to thin chocolate as needed.
With spoon, drizzle across top of cool macaroons. Makes approximately 30.
