Swedish Almond Macaroons
From a little swedish recipes book of mine.
Steps
Knead almond paste until soft.
Work in powdered sugar.
Add vanilla and salt.
Add egg whites , a little at a time , blending well after each addition.
Use just enough egg whites to make a soft dough that will hold its shape when dropped from a teaspoon.
Line cookie sheets with unglazed brown paper.
Drop paste onto sheets by teaspoonfuls , about 2 inches apart.
Or force through a cookie press into rounds.
Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake about 20 minutes at 300 degrees.
Place macaroons on damp towel to loosen the brown paper and remove paper.
Cool on racks.
