RATAFIA BISCUITS "At last, when the cloth had been drawn and the King's health drunk in a glass of port suited to a very young head, they took their coffee and ratafia biscuits... in the great cabin." —The Yellow Admiral, p. 126 My husband and I were 'antiquing' and I purchased yet another cookbook: Cooking For Every Occasion, 1971. Tried this recipe. Very similar to macaroons; in fact, these are often referred to as Italian macaroons. They do NOT contain flour. I also reduced the amount of sugar as I wanted a 'not-so-sweet' cookie.... really quick & easy.
