Cooking Recipe Pine Nut Macaroons
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 300 F. Line baking sheets with parchment or
waxed paper. 2. Using an electric mixer, cream together the almond
paste and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth. Beat in the
vanilla. Gradually beat in the egg whites to make a smooth and
somewhat fluffy mixture. 3. Drop the batter by the heaping
teaspoonful 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. By hand, stud
each cookie generously with pine nuts, then liberally sift the
confectioners' sugar over the tops. 4. Bake the macaroons until light
golden brown, 18 to 20 mins. Let cool slightly, then transfer with a
metal spatula to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight
container up to 1 week. Makes 4 to 4 1/2 dozen cookies.
