- 2Add the powdered sugar and the beaten egg whites to the almond paste. Work the mixture well together with the back of a spoon until it forms a cohesive paste.
- 3Dip your hands in water to prevent sticking. Roll the mixture into balls the size of a hickory nut (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the macaroons on a baking sheet lined with buttered or waxed paper, leaving about an inch of space between each one.
- 4Dip your hands in water again and gently pass over the macaroons to smooth the surface and make them shiny. Set in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
