Although the recipe didn't say when to add the salt, I put it in with the flour! Also dipped only half the macaroons in the chocolate, but another time would do them all! A great addition to the other cookies in my cookie/bar sale! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]
