Ingredients:

  • makes about 3 dozen individual cookies or 1 1/2 dozen sandwich cookies
  • 1/2 lb confectioner's sugar , about 1 7/8 cups
  • 1/4 lb almond meal , about 1 cup
  • 1/2 cup egg whites
  • 1 1/2 oz granulated sugar , about 1/4 cup
  • 5 drops red food coloring or other color
  • about 1/2 cup raspberry jam or other non-chunky jam or jelly

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheets.
  3. Meanwhile, using a flour sifter or a fine-meshed sieve, sift together the confectioner's sugar and almond meal directly into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a handheld electric mixer until foamy.
  5. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating the egg whites until they form soft peaks that droop slightly when the beaters are lifted out.
  6. Continue beating while sprinkling in the granulated sugar in a steady stream;
  7. Then, add the food coloring and continue beating until fully blended, about 30 seconds.
  8. Sprinkle in the almond meal mixture, gently folding it into the egg whites with a rubber spatula until thoroughly combined.
  9. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with the round tip.
  10. Pipe into 1-inch rounds onto one of the lined baking sheets.
  11. Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes; rotate the sheet 180 degrees and bake until the macaroons are firm, about 7 minutes more.
  12. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the macaroons cool. If baking more of the macaroon mixture, pipe them onto the other parchment-lined baking sheet and bake as instructed above.
  13. When the macaroons have cooled completely, transfer them to an airtight container, packing them between layers of waxed paper.
  14. If you'd like to turn them into sandwich cookies, spoon a dab of jam on the flat side of one macaroon and then gently press the flat side of another macaroon against the jam to seal the two cookies together
