Really disappointed in the results. I love Paula but her recipes seem to omit a key ingredient. Finally found my grandmomma's recipe and I will make those instead. Better flavor, more consistent texture.

How long would these cookies last at room temperature? Thank you.

This recipe is quick and easy but delicious. The initial cost for the ingredients is a little higher than I anticipated; however, once you have the almond extract and cream of tartar in your spice inventory, you can get quite a few batches out of each investment and they are definitely worth it.

Hi back, Libbie! Okay, I made the macaroons substituting the dulce de leche for sweetened condensed milk. I also substituted rum flavoring for the almond flavoring. Don't know why, you can't taste it~ At any rate, here's my take on it: They are a beautiful caramel color, but not as sweet as regular macaroons. Dulce de leche is like a looser caramel candy,thicker than SCM and really good straight from the can. Having said that, I decided to gild the lily and dip the bottom of the cookie in dark chocolate. Reallllllly good. So now I'm gonna call this creation "South of the Border Macaroons". BTW- Nestle is the brand name on the can. I bought it at my grocery store. It could have been with the other international foods. Try them and let me know how you liked my substitutions.

I wonder if you could substitute a can of dulce de leche for the sweetened condensed milk? It might be good; certainly more of a caramel flavor than regular condensed milk. Has anyone out there done this?
