  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!
