SNOW-COVERED MACAROON TREES RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg white; add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon. (It's very stiff so I used my hands). Using your hands, shape into 2-inch-tall trees, using your fingertips to make pointed tops. Place about 1 1/2" apart on the baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until trees are firm and lightly browned. Cool in pan on a wire cooling rack for at least 30 minutes. (I trimmed edges with a small, sharp paring knife). Just before serving time, sift confectioners sugar over the top of trees.
