Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until macaroons are a deep golden color and still soft within. Slide the papers from the pans to racks.

Store the cooled macaroons between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting cover.

This recipe yields about 40 macaroons.
