They also taste good using almond extract . I prefer to bake on parchment paper. The macaroons stick to the cookie sheet because of the high sugar content in the sweetened condensed milk. Thanks for the recipe.

I don't know what I did wrong, but these cookies spread out and were HUGE and the bottoms were soft and sticky. Not at all like macaroons!
