This is the classic Italian almond macaroon. When first baked they are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. As they sit, they get crunchy throughout. Delicious with any fruit dessert.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dense. They didn't have the light and airy texture that the recipe promised.

These cookies are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a few days in advance and they were still delicious.

The cookies didn't turn out as expected. They were too dry and crumbly.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
