Almond Macaroons for Passover

1 1/2 cups blanched almonds or ground almonds
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 egg whites
Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 300 and line a baking sheet with parchment.

If you are using whole almonds, grind them to a fine flour in the food processor or blender. Add the sugar and extracts and mix well.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until it forms stiff peaks. Add almond mixture and mix until combined. Note: you want this to be pretty stiff, because it will spread out in the oven. Add a little more almond flour if your egg whites are very wet.

Spoon or pipe onto parchment and bake for 15-20 minutes until just beginning to brown.
