The actual Macaroon recipe (in this cookbook) says to "Drop level tablespoonfuls of dough on 2 greased and lightly floured baking sheets. Let stand at room temperature until cool. (This insures rounded macaroons). Heat oven to 300 degrees (slow). Bake about 20 min., or until delicately golden on exterior but soft nad moist inside. REmove from sheets immediately."
