- 2Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the macaroons are lightly golden and set.
- 3Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the macaroons cool completely on the sheet. Once cooled, carefully remove the macaroons from the paper. To remove them easily, turn the paper over and place hot cloths on the wrong side of the paper. The macaroons should then drop off. Serve and enjoy!
