hey... I have seen macaroons recipe without eggs too. Im a veggie and I don't have eggs in anything... I guess egg substitute will work just as fine as egg is just a binding agent?

I tried once with cashews, let me tell you nothing can lend the flavor as almond does... I guess over cooking could play a part in killin the moisture content...

Almond macaroons with a tangy lemon flavor, that was simply a great try! I have tried the same using variety nuts and it did come out well, but it wasn't quite moist as your almond macaroons. Is there something special you do to make it moist... I would love to know about it.

Hi Prezi, it's definitely the cooking time. the thing with macaroons is that you need to cook them in a pre-heated oven for 10-15 minutes max. when you get them out of the oven, you might think they are not cooked (because they have a soft feel) but they get harder as they cool down. you should try different timings with your oven (because it also depends on the power of the oven) to get the perfect timing. Maybe one day, bake 1 batch, then remove some macaroons from the oven after 10mn, then some at 12 mn, and then at 14 mn - and you can have a tasting party!!!
