Macaroons - a delicious treat with a bright taste of almonds. It is easy to cook at home, because in general the process of preparing the product and baking takes no more than an hour. Some of the recipes below suggest cooling the dough in the refrigerator - this extra time in the cooking process also needs to be taken into account.

Classic Macaroons

Rich, fragrant, crunchy macaroons are very easy to make with your own hands.

The recipe consists of the following products:

  • 1 egg white
  • 85 g of powdered sugar;
  • 85 g of almond flour.

The cooking sequence is simple:

  1. Sift the powder into a deep bowl so that there are no lumps left in it.
  2. Pour flour into the powder and mix well.
  3. Beat the protein separately until stable peaks appear.
  4. In several stages, pour the almond-powder mixture to the protein and mix with a spatula.
  5. Cover the baking sheet with oiled parchment. Using a dessert spoon, spread the dough, leaving a distance of about 5 cm between the blanks - they will spread out a little when baking.
  6. Sprinkle the dessert on top with a thin layer of powder. We put in a stove warmed up to 180 degrees and leave for a third of an hour.

The finished cookie will be with a small crust of caramel, and inside it will remain a little soft. From the above amount of products comes 12 - 15 servings.

The consistency of the test can be different each time. It depends on how much protein was used - in the egg of the highest category, the protein part is larger than in small eggs. This nuance does not affect the taste, only on the appearance - the cookies will turn out either large and flat, or small and plump.

On a note. To make the cookie taste brighter, use wholemeal flour and 1 - 2 drops of almond flavor.
