Preparation steps
Cut dates in half and remove pits. Chop into small pieces.
Separate eggs. Using a hand mixer, beat egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until creamy.
In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff.
Mix almonds, dates, cocoa powder, 1 pinch of cinnamon and popped amaranth into the egg yolk mixture. Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a spoon to scoop 24 small mounds onto the baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F until cookies are dry to the touch, about 25-30 minutes.
Let cool on a wire rack. Serve 3 macaroons as a meal. Keep the remaining macaroons in an airtight container and consume within 10 days.
