Almond Macaroons I

Ingredients

 * 3 egg whites
 * 1 cup powdered sugar
 * 1/2 pound almond paste

Directions
To prepare this Almond Macaroons--No. 1 Recipe, first rub the sugar and paste together, then add the beaten whites. This may be put on oiled paper with a pastry bag and tube, or may be dropped in small bits from the tip of a spoon. Bake fifteen to twenty minutes in a cool oven. When done, invert the paper and wet with a cloth wrung out of cold water. The macaroons will then easily peel off. Before baking, the macaroons may be sprinkled with almonds which have been blanched and shredded or chopped.
