Things You'll Need:
- 1 cup almond paste (about 7 ounces)
- 3-5 egg whites
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Groceries
- Cookie Sheets
- Hand Mixers
- Mixing Bowls
- Pastry Bags
- Cookie sheets
- Mixing bowls
-
Step 1
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Step 2
Place the almond paste and sugar in a mixing bowl, preferably in an electric mixer. Start the mixer on low speed, or blend by hand.
-
Step 3
Add egg whites one at a time. Add as many as the batter will absorb without getting runny.
-
Step 4
Beat at high speed or vigorously by hand for a few minutes to make the batter creamy. The texture should be like extremely thick pancake batter and not be runny.
-
Step 5
Spoon mixture out in even spoonfuls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. They will spread slightly, so be careful not to place them too close. You can also add them to a piping bag fitted with a large tip and pipe them out.
-
Step 6
Place the cookie sheet on top of another empty sheet so the cookies are double-panned.
-
Step 7
Bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
-
Step 8
Cool macaroons on the same baking pan.
