This is the classic Italian almond macaroon. When first baked they are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. As they sit, they get crunchy throughout. This is a cookie the Italian's make on festive occasions like weddings, or Christmas.
All ingredients are available in ordinary supermarkets.
This old fashioned peppermint cookie uses baker's ammonia for the leavening. Linda I found this recipe in my card file. These cookies literally melt in your mouth. They are white, but can be tinted with food coloring in pastel colors if desired. It's a great recipe if you like sugar cookies.
