Macaroon Cookies

List of Ingredients




Macaroons originated in an Italian Monastery around 1790. They were baked by the Carmelite nuns who followed the principle: "Almonds are good for girls who do not eat meat." During the Revolution, two nuns who hid in the town called Nancy, made and sold macaroons. They became known as the "Macaroon Sisters."

Most macaroon and meringue cookies are fragile and need special handling. Keep them small and they will hold together better.

Some of the meringues, heavy in nuts, keep well if stored in a tightly covered container.

TIP: Should they harden on the pan, return the cookie sheet to the warm oven for a minute before trying to remove them.
