This recipe for almond macaroons is made with only three ingredients -- almond paste, egg white and water. Most almond pastes contain no grain making them kosher for Passover and gluten-free, but check the label to make sure. Some almond macaroons are made with a combination of almond paste and finely ground almonds or almond flour (but do not confuse these with French macarons). Macaroons can be made chewy, crunchy or a combination of the two as in this recipe. They can be topped with chocolate, candied orange peel or maraschino cherries as I have done here. Don't overbake these cookies. You want the interior to still be moist. Macaroons can also be made by using coconut in place of the almonds in which case they are called coconut macaroons.
