It is finally March and Daylight Saving Time is around the corner (on Sunday, March 9th)! We lose an hour of sleep. : ( What are your plans for March? Currently, I am waiting for college letters. Ugh, just thinking about it makes my stomach turn. I already heard from one college but I am still anxious. Part of me wants to stay in California but the other part wants to get out.
Anyway, recently I have been getting obsessed with a certain food: French macarons.
In honor of my father's birthday, I decided to bake these. I will admit, these cookies were DIFFICULT. When I first made them, they flattened out into little disks. After two batches, the third one turned out decent. Third time's a charm, right? Well, about 40% turned out decent; the rest cracked.
Here are the presentable ones:
I never tried macarons before so I was surprised by how much sugar the recipe called for. The cookie itself was sweet enough to stand alone on its own, maybe even too sweet. To balance this, I created a slightly tart buttercream filling.
Now I know to some, these aren't that great but I am pretty proud of these. It was a challenge to make them but fun nevertheless. If you like to bake and have never tried making these, I encourage you to try making them! The wide range of colors macarons offer make it the perfect spring treat!
Do you guys like macarons and if so, what is your favorite flavor? Please leave comments below!
Thanks for reading!
