French Macaroons
 |
Macaroons have been in the news lately or perhaps it was just me obsessing about them and seem to notice them everywhere. I believe it was Marie to blame, in the recent Marie Antoinette movie (starring Kirsten Dunst), where she indulged in these nutty, chewy morsels while sipping champagne or tea during her numerous splurges and living ‘la vie’. But whatever the reason, I set out to have my own little delectable feast so I decided to hunt down the perfect recipe to make these pretty cream-filled almond cookies. |
