 Categories: Desserts, Cookies, Cathe
      Yield: 3 Dozen
 
MMMMM------------------------ALMOND PASTE-----------------------------
     20 oz Almonds, blanched
           -(can use whole or pieces)
  3 1/2 c  Confectioner's sugar
      3 lg Egg whites, lightly beaten

MMMMM--------------------------COOKIES-------------------------------
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
  1 1/2 c  Confectioner's sugar
      1 pk Coconut, sweetened
           -(large)
      1 x  Almond paste, broken
           -into chunks
      1 tb Vanilla extract
           Salt
      6 lg Egg whites
 
  PREPARE ALMOND PASTE:  Process almonds in food processer until finely
  chopped, almost almond butter. Add confectioners' sugar and process
  till smooth.  Add egg whites.
  
  Mixture should become very stiff and form a ball in the machine. If
  you cannot get it to become evenly moistened, take the mixture out
  and knead it on a board "floured" with confectioners' sugar. Divide
  the well-blended paste into three equal batches.  (Can wrap well at
  this point to refrigerate, up to a week.)
  
  MAKE MACAROONS:  Make this recipe in a food processor in three
  batches. For each batch use 1/2 Cup each granulated and
  confectioner's sugar, 1/3 of the coconut and almond paste, 1/8 t
  salt, 1 t vanilla and
        2    egg whites.
  
  In processor bowl, combine granulated sugar and coconut. Process
  about 2 minutes or until the coconut is finely ground. Add the
  confectioners' sugar and the almond paste. Process until the mixture
  resembles cornmeal. With the machine running, add the salt, vanilla
  and egg whites. Process until the mixture is evenly moistened.
  
  Drop mixture by teaspoonsful onto a cookie sheet covered with brown
  paper. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes, or until the
  macaroons are lightly browned. Remove from oven and place brown paper
  on a damp towel. When cookies are slightly cooled, use a spatula to
  remove them; place them in an air-tight container so they will remain
  chewy. Makes 3 to 4 dozen small cookies or 18 large ones.
