If you follow me on Instagram, you know that since coming home from Paris, I have been a bit obsessed with learning how to make homemade macarons (see my Paris macaron post
here). It has been quite the challenge! After lots of failed attempts, I was finally successful last weekend. My first few tries resulted in very tasty, but also very ugly, cookies. I couldn't figure out how to get the texture just right to create the smooth top and the ruffled "feet" (the sides). Thanks to those of you who gave me tips on instagram and thanks to Dzung, from
My Honeysuckle blog, for posting her
macaron youtube video tutorial! It was very helpful.
While these are certainly not perfect, they actually look like macarons!!! I was so very excited and proud of them:) We had some fresh, local raspberries in the fridge, so I decided I would go for raspberry flavored (my first few batches were strawberry). I can't wait to try different flavors and maybe even some combos.
