    Ingredients

    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
    • 4 1/2 ounces almond paste
    • 2 large egg whites
    • 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
    • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1 1/3 cups packed sweetened flaked coconut, (about 4 1/2 ounces)
    • 1 teaspoon fresh orange juice

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Process granulated sugar and orange zest in a food processor until combined, about 3 minutes. Add almond paste; process 1 minute. Add egg whites, orange juice, confectioners' sugar, flour, half of the coconut, and the salt; process 1 minute. Remove blade, scraping batter into bowl with a rubber spatula. Stir in remaining coconut.
    2. Drop rounded teaspoons of batter on to baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake macaroons until the edges start to turn brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer parchment and macaroons to a wire rack; let cool completely. Macaroons can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 days.

      If you have an Italian specialty store near you, they will have almond paste. Other supermarkets carry it, but sometimes they only carry it around the holidays.

      Almond paste and marzipan are not the same. I had to check several stores to find it in California. You could try Amazon.

      Is almond paste the same as marzipan? We don't have a product called almond paste here in Australia.
