Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Put the ground almonds and sugar in a large mixing bowl and mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, then add to the almond and sugar mixture. Stir well - it will form a slightly sticky mixture but should hold its shape.
- Wet your hands lightly and roll a heaped teaspoon of the mixture into a ball between your palms - it should be about 4cm in diameter. Put on the tray and flatten slightly with wet fingers to a thick disc, leaving at least 3cm between each biscuit. Press a blanched almond into each one, if you like.
- Bake for 18-20 mins until just starting to turn golden around the edges, then remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack. You want them to have a chewy, soft centre and the darker they get the harder the middle will be.
- To make cinnamon balls, add the cinnamon to the almonds and sugar before you add the egg white. When shaping, leave them as balls. Bake for 18-20 mins - you want them to stay soft in the centre. While they are still warm, put them gently in a bowl of icing sugar and turn to coat. Leave until completely cooled.

Tips:
- Use almond flour. Almond flour is the main ingredient in macaroons, and it gives them their characteristic flavor and texture. Make sure to use finely ground almond flour for the best results.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help to create a light and airy texture in the macaroons.
- Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites. This will help to prevent the egg whites from becoming grainy.
- Fold in the almond flour gently. Over-mixing will make the macaroons tough.
- Pipe the macaroons onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help to prevent them from sticking.
- Bake the macaroons at a low temperature. This will help to prevent them from browning too much.
- Let the macaroons cool completely before serving. This will help them to set properly.
Conclusion:
Macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, and they can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect macaroons every time.
