It is relaxing when seeing the painting and reading the story, thanks for sharing. I make almond cookies but by using the pulp strained from almond milk : ).

Yes – the paintings are mine. I got fresh almond paste in Sicily and haven’t made it but may try .

Finding almond paste may be the most difficult part of this recipe. Macaroons are one of the easiest cookies to make and are even gluten free. Thanks for your comment.
