How to Make Almond Pistachio Macaroons

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the almond paste, pistachios, and almond flour. Gently fold this mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each macaroon.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheets before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
