Macarons (or "mac-ah-rhons" as said in my terrible french accent) are ridiculously popular right now. That is a-ok with me. I've got to say, these are a fairly intimidating cookie to make, and I've had my share of fails... but when you finally get it, it is SOOOOOO worth it! I literally burnt the first batch that came out with "feet" because I was so excited I felt the need to dance around my kitchen. I totally forgot that I hadn't taken them out of the oven. Whoops.
Oh well. Now that I've gotten that litte thrill out of the way, I feel fairly capable of making these adorable little treats. Hopefully after my fails (which have led to quite a bit of new found wisdom) I will be able to steer you a little clearer. Be sure to fully read through this recipe and watch the video before starting, and you should be fine. Should be... (even if they don't turn out with fancy little feet, they still taste pretty damned good!)
