Almond Macaroons Recipe

  • 1 1/2 cups ground toasted almonds
  • 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup sugar
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the almonds, flour, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the almond extract. Gradually beat in the sugar, 1/4 cup (60 ml) at a time, until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold the almond mixture into the egg whites.
  5. Drop the batter by heaping teaspoons 2 inches (5 cm) apart onto the prepared sheet.
  6. Bake for 14 minutes, or until light brown. Cool on a rack for 3 minutes.
  7. Slide the parchment paper off the pan onto the rack to cool completely. Peel off the paper.
