ALMOND MACAROONS 
1 (8 oz.) can tube of almond paste (1 c.)
1 c. sugar

In a large mixing bowl, crumble the almond paste and gradually add 1 cup sugar. Add the egg whites to the almond/sugar mixture and beat on high until smooth. (Dough will be stiff.)

Or, drop dough from teaspoon on well greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Immediately remove from pan. Cool on rack. Makes about 3 dozen.
