Swiss Almond Macaroons

Directions

• Put almond paste into a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low
  speed with the granulated sugar until the paste breaks down into fine, uniform crumbs.
  Mixing the sugar with the paste first prevents lumpiness before you introduce liquid.
• Add egg whites and mix until the dough is smooth and uniform.
• Drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
• Bake in a 325°F degree oven for 20 minutes or until the cookies rise, crack and are golden brown.
