How to Make Almond Macaroons The Passover Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup almond flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon almond extract, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the egg whites into the almond flour mixture until just combined. The dough will be thick and slightly wet.
  5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the bottom of a glass.
  7. Press a whole or slivered almond into the center of each cookie.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cookies are firm to the touch.
  9. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before serving or storing.
