These are quite delicious. I did not have any vanilla bean or lemon, so I used vanilla and lemon extract and they are very nice. To prevent them from sticking to the parchment paper, spray the parchment with cooking spray as per the recipe and then sprinkle some almond flour over the sprayed area. Cool the macaroons completely on the sheet and mine came off easily without any cracking or breaks.

I used 1-1/2 T. of baker's sugar with the vanilla bean. Without a doubt one of the most expensive cookies I've ever made (almond flour $12.99 for one pound and it took half the package; 2 vanilla beans were $11.99, used one. Was it worth it DEFINITELY! Wonderful cookies and I have just enough of the expensive items to make a second batch. BTW - "gingerly" doesn't come close to describing how you need to transfer these cookies to a rack. Good luck!

Delish!!! In answer to neon10230..From a pastry chef....Almond flour is finely ground almonds. When used in a recipe almond flour creates a delicate texture which is very desirable in many cookie recipes specifically. Unlike real flour it has no absorption qualities.
If you have a food processor pulse grind almonds (start with slivered almonds Do not create a paste. Once finely ground spread out and let dry for about an hour for textural purposes. Some bulk natural markets may carry this product.
If you have no intention of doing this add 2tablespoons per cup of almond flour and it should be workable but the texture will not be comparable.

It looked tasty on the episode, however I encountered an important missing detail from the recipe. How much granulated sugar is needed?

Delicious! Crispy outside and chewing inside and the flavors are wonderful together. I was really concerned about making them due to the prior reviews but I had gotten the ingredients and had everything laid out that I said "lets go for it." I was going to go re-watch the show since it does mention granulated sugar in the directions and not the ingredients list but then decided not to. I made the recipe as it is written here but I added the vanilla beans only when it said to add the "vanilla sugar" (I skipped the granulated sugar step all together. I cooked them as described, watched them very carefully and took them out just when the edges got brown and the top got golden.

Great recipe! Just added 2 T of granulated sugar to the egg whites since it appears this was missed in the ingredient list. Also sub 1 t of vanilla since I did not have vanilla beans. My husband must eat gluten free and this recipe was a winner on all counts!! I've receieved many compliments and have already shared with several people.

I made them, and decided to forget the sugar altogether that was supposed to be added to the egg whites. After mixing the whites with the dry mix, it was basically a batter. I decided to cook them anyway on a baking sheet in gloppy circles, and it came out like a pancake! believe it or not they tasted good, even though i needed to eat it with a fork. I wouldn't go through the trouble with these macaroons.

According to what Alex did on the show, you should mix 2 tablespoons of either powdered sugar or superfine (I would assume bakers sugar to the egg white mixture right before adding the vanilla bean.
