Preheat oven to 130C. Grease oven trays lined with baking paper. Beat egg whites in a small bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Add caster sugar, beat until sugar dissolves, transfer mixture to a large bowl.
Fold in sifted icing sugar, ground almonds and sifted cocoa, in two batches.
Pour mixture into a piping bag fitted with a 1cm plain tube. Pipe 4cm rounds about 3cm apart onto trays. Tap trays so macaroons spread slightly. Stand for 30 minutes.
Bake macaroons for about 20 minutes. Cool on trays.
