Anyway, her mom visited and showed us how to make the to die for macaroon, that is not a cookie :0
Of course, I can't tell you how to make it here as it is a business and I don't want to jeopardize the trade secret, but I can say that the ingredients are:
almond meal (I was just imagining that it will be nice to make something out of ground almond, not realizing that it already exist in the market, how ancient is that)
vanilla bean
coffee essence or chocolate or pistaccio
sugar
egg whites and some yolks
The end result was an airy very light delicacy, it was so good that t took so much to reach a satiation point. Notice that it has a sandwich-like look where 2 pieces are glued together, not by cream or -sugar glue but the moisture generated from putting the oven-fresh macaroons over a tray of hot water and gently putting them together. It is such a laborious process that is best done with a group of friends either with a movie or sufficient alcohol to imbibe such that it is a fun activity. Great for bonding, I should say.
Oh and if the mixture has a little bit of light consistency then it is aired under the sun so that evaporation will occur.
