The recipe for Almond Macaroons
The recipe for Almond Macaroons is located on the back of the box. Only four ingredients are needed. If you always have parchment paper in your pantry you are all set. Most cooks I know always have maraschino cherries in their pantry or refrigerator. Besides egg and sugar which are staple pantry food, Solo Almond Paste is the only uncommon ingredient you will need. By the way, it is located in the baking aisle.
I slightly changed the recipe by not using parchment paper. For baking cookies and macaroons, I like using silicone liners. The liners are easy to clean and can be reused many times. They are also sold in stores carrying kitchen items.
If you are baking holiday cookies or holiday macaroons make sure you use recipes that are easy and simple to follow. Always make sure you don’t spend a lot of time cooking and baking in the kitchen. The holidays are meant to enjoy ourselves and not
The macaroons are best enjoyed with herbal teas and coffee. Hot chocolate is perfect as well on Christmas Day. Bake a variety of cookies to make your holiday a festive and memorable one.
