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

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
