I had forgotten the wet towel part .. sorry.
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."
