Almond Macaroons

What in the hell? These were the weirdest cookies to make. Recipe looked simple enough: little flour,



Marzipan, some baking powder, and mix with egg white and vanilla

then top with almond slivers (I slivered myself even though I found a package of slivered almonds buried in my pantry later that weekend.)

They didn't taste terrible, in fact my dad scarfed down quite a few at mom's bday celebrations, but they came out completely flat- although they did not look like that in the pic in the book. I think it might have had something to do with not beating the egg white- instructions were to mix in with marzipan- and I assume if it had been aerated it would have puffed a bit more. All in all a disappointing outcome.
