these looked and sounded good to me... loved the addition of the almond paste... and that they are gluten free... the recipe and photo are courtesy of Good Housekeeping Ingredients:
1 can(s) (7- to 8-ounce) almond paste |
1/2 cup(s) confectioners' sugar |
2 large egg whites |
1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract |
2 ounce(s) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment.
3. In food processor with knife blade attached, process almond paste and sugar until combined (a few small lumps will remain). Add whites and vanilla; pulse until well combined.
4. Spoon batter into decorating bag fitted with 1/2-inch star tip. Pipe batter into 3-inch-long fingers, 1 inch apart, onto prepared cookie sheets.
5. Bake macaroons, on 2 oven racks, 17 to 19 minutes, rotating sheets between racks halfway through baking, until cookies start to turn golden brown on edges.
6. Cool on cookie sheets on wire racks. Repeat.
7. In microwave-safe cup, heat chocolate in microwave oven on High 1 minute or until soft and shiny. Remove; stir until smooth.
8. With pastry brush, brush chocolate on half of each macaroon; let dry. If necessary, place in refrigerator 5 minutes to set chocolate. Peel cookies from parchment; store tightly covered at room temperature, with waxed paper between layers, up to 3 days or in freezer up to 1 month
