Passover Traditions: A Recipe for Almond Macaroons

One of the best parts of Passover is almost certainly the Almond macaroons—perfectly chewy, light, and just a little too moreish. At home, Florence Greenberg’s recipe book has been a source of inspiration for years, though we’ve tweaked and tested different versions along the way. The beauty of these is that they’re hard to get wrong:

A cozy Passover baking scene set by a window, featuring a mixing bowl filled with almond flour. Surrounding it are ingredients and tools, including a small whisk, a spoon, chopped almonds, a dish of oil, and a bag of fine ground almonds. A vintage open cookbook, with handwritten notes, rests against a Panzer’s deli paper bag. Also present are a bottle of Palwin kosher wine and a box of Aviv Passover matzos, suggesting a traditional holiday recipe in the making.

Mix almonds, ground rice (we like to use matzo meal) and sugar, then add the very slightly whipped egg white and mix thoroughly. 

An overhead view of a Passover baking session, where hands carefully shape small almond-based biscuits onto parchment paper. The scene includes a mixing bowl filled with dough, a wooden board with chopped almonds and a small knife, and a vintage cookbook open to a classic recipe. A bag of fine ground almonds rests nearby, reinforcing the traditional nature of the bake. The setting is warm and nostalgic, evoking family traditions passed down through generations.

Cover a baking sheet with paper and place teaspoons of the mixture onto it, leaving room to spread.

Golden, crisp, and studded with slivers of almond—these freshly baked Passover biscuits are simple yet full of tradition. Made with ground almonds and a careful hand, they embody the essence of classic holiday baking. A timeless treat, best enjoyed with a cup of tea and good company.

Put an almond on each macaroon and bake in an oven until a pale golden brown – around 35 minutes.
