Who knows how to make Almond Macaroons?

Question

Not coconut, but almond macaroons. Had some years ago and they still stick in my mind. Fantastic cookies. But most of the recipes I find aren't the same as the ones I tried and bought. I actually bough 6 dozen. So did my older brother, when we got home we gave his girlfriend the dozen that were left.

Answer 1

Are these the ones?-Love them

1 cup whole almonds (preferably blanched), plus 16 whole raw almonds
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg white
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Pinch salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly butter a baking sheet.
In a food processor pulse 1 cup almonds with granulated sugar until ground fine. Add egg white, almond extract, and a pinch salt and pulse until combined. Roll mixture into 16 balls, about 1- inch in diameter, and arrange about 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Slightly flatten balls and dust lightly with confectioners' sugar. Gently press 1 almond into each cookie.
Bake macaroons in middle of oven 10 minutes, or until pale golden. Transfer macaroons to a rack and cool completely. Macaroons keep 4 days in an airtight container at room temperature.

Answer 2

They made the same as coconut macaroons - but instead of shredded coconut, use slivered almonds. They are delish!

Answer 3

That's a good recipe from
Debi C, but try this also-that is if you want to make them at
home. I doubt you can ever
buy what you remember.
