OK, after trolling the web, i think i found the
recipe my friend used for the walnut macaroons
for Princess Kamiilah's Refreshment Table.
Na'arah liked it because it was so simple, which
is why i think it's this recipe, and not another
with similar ingredients but more complicated
processes.

Walnut Macaroons : Mustachados
Sephardic Jewish
Pareve, i.e., without dairy or animal ingredients
(eggs are considered neutral), so it can be eaten
at any kind of Kosher meal
good for Pesach/Passover
Makes 24-30 cookies
Preheat oven to 325º F.
1 large egg
1-1/2 cups finely ground walnuts (6 oz.)
1/2 cup sugar
1. Grease two large baking sheets, then coat with
potato starch, tapping off excess.
(i imagine my friend doesn't bother with the
potato starch - perhaps this works with greased
baking parchment paper)
(to be Kosher, one has to use certain types of
vegetable oil - butter won't work, and some kinds
of oil may be prohibited during Pesach)
2a. Beat egg with a fork until well blended.
2b. Then add rest of ingredients and mix to form a thick paste.
3a. Use moistened hands to form into 1-1/4 inch
balls, or drop by scant tablespoons, two inches
apart on baking sheet.
3b. Then flatten with moistened finger tips. (my
friend doesn't bother to do this and the
macaroons are fine)
4a. Bake 15-20 minutes until edges brown.
4b. Remove from pans immediately [probably to a cooling rack].
Also, i've read about people making macaroons
with different nuts - besides almonds or walnuts,
they tried pecans (New World) or hazelnuts,
replaced weight for weight. I suspect it could
also work with pine nuts or pistachios.
I don't know if this would work with Splenda, but i suppose it's worth a try...
