Swedish Almond Macaroons

1. 1

   Knead almond paste until soft; work in powdered sugar.

2. 2

   Add vanilla and salt.

3. 3

   Add egg whites, a little at a time, blending well after each addition. Use just enough egg whites to make a soft dough that will hold its shape when dropped from a teaspoon.

4. 4

   Line cookie sheets with unglazed brown paper.

5. 5

   Drop paste onto sheets by teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart. Or force through a cookie press into rounds.

6. 6

   Sprinkle with sugar.

7. 7

   Bake about 20 minutes at 300 degrees.

8. 8

   Place macaroons on damp towel to loosen the brown paper and remove paper. Cool on racks.
