Original recipe (1X) yields 36 servings

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup confectioners' sugar
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons brandy
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup finely chopped blanched almonds
36 whole cloves
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Directions

Sift flour and baking powder together into a bowl.
Cream butter in a mixing bowl. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Add egg yolk, brandy, and vanilla; beat until very light. Stir in almonds.
Gradually blend in flour mixture until a soft, smooth dough forms. Cover and chill until dough can easily be handled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C).
Shape level tablespoonfuls of chilled dough into crescents and place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Insert a whole clove into the center of each crescent.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 25 to 30 minutes, switching racks halfway through; do not brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheets.
Dust generously with confectioners' sugar.

Nut-Free Macarons

The problem that I identified was that French macarons are almost always baked with almond flour, and so many people with tree nut allergies, counting me, are affected by this problem, because we can't eat freshly baked French macarons from a pastry shop. This is problematic, because I've always wanted to try a French macaron, since my sisters have tried them and told me that they taste really good, and I was jealous.
