Yield Makes about 40 macaroons

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 pound (3/4 cup) blanched whole almonds plus 1/3 cup sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites

Steps:

  • In a food processor grind fine the whole almonds with the sugar, the almond extract, and the salt. In a bowl beat the whites until they are foamy (just before they hold soft peaks) and fold in the almond mixture gently but thoroughly. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and butter the parchment. Transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip, pipe 1-inch mounds onto the parchment, 2 inches apart, and sprinkle them with the sliced almonds. Bake the macaroons in the middle of a preheated 300°F. oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden around the edges, and let them cool on the parchment. Peel the macaroons from the parchment and store them in an airtight container.

These macaroons were a waste of time and ingredients. They didn't turn out at all.

I wasn't a big fan of these macaroons. They were a bit too chewy and dense for my taste.

These macaroons were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroons didn't turn out as chewy as I expected. They were still tasty, but I was a bit disappointed.

These macaroons were a bit too chewy for my taste, but they still had a nice almond flavor. I might try making them again with a different recipe.

I've tried many almond macaroon recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The macaroons are chewy, moist, and have a wonderful almond flavor. I love that they're also gluten-free and paleo-friendly. I will definitely be making these ag
