Almond Macaroons

Salam hari Isnin semua,

Ok, hari ni jom kita cuba resepi macaroon yang simple dan senang giler nak buat. Bahan2 nya pun tak banyak dan resepi ni cukup2 untuk 12-14 biji, depending on the size.

Almond macaroon ni tak sama macam almond meringue macaron yang ala2 Laduree tu, this is more a traditional cookies and the tastes is so chewy. Believe me, you won't stop nibling at one...:)

Ingredients :-

1 egg white
85 g ground almonds
85 g caster sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract
6-7 blanched almonds, split in half (almond yang dah kupas kulit)

Method :-

1. Preheat oven to 180C/Gas Mark 4.
2. Beat the egg white until frothy, then stir in the ground almonds, sugar and almond extract, mixing to form a sticky dough.
3. Using slightly sugared hands, roll the dough into small balls and place on the prepared baking tray.
4. Press an almond half into the centre of each.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until pale golden.

Tara...dah siap untuk dimakan. Senang giler kan, tak sesusah nak buat macaron. Bila2 masa pun boleh buat. Selamat mencuba.
