Target Passover Macaroons Food

PASSOVER ALMOND MACAROONS

Steps:

• Beat egg yolks well.
• Add sugar, and beat until mixture is lemon colored.
• Add the ground almonds and mix thoroughly.
• Chill for one hour in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C).
• Take small pieces of the mixture and shape into small balls.
• (I used a melon baller, for a 5/8-3/4" diameter cookie).
• Place the macaroons on a greased baking sheet, 1 inch apart.
• Top with half an almond.
• Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
• Notes: These cookies spread.
• I have made up to a triple batch with good results.
• Be careful if using a food processor to powder the almonds.
• They seem to turn the nuts into almond butter, rather than a flour-like consistency.
