Macarons, the cute and adorable little cookies from France! My obsession with it started last year when I saw them popping up on many baking blogs. Every blog I visited, someone was making them. And, how could I not fall in love with them as well? They are so many variations of them and I just love them all. I never tasted one until Diana bought me a big box all the way from Paris. From then on I was hooked.I tried baking them a couple of times but fail miserably but I was determined to try again until I get it right. Finally with Tartelette recipe and tips I made some decent looking ones.
I baked another batch of these little morsels again using Tartelette recipe and it turn out much better than the first batch. I still need a lot of practice to get the size right and learn to control the temperature of my oven. Hopefully the next batch will be much batter than this one. Time to start collecting egg whites again ;) For the recipe of the Macarons please refer here .

They turned out great! I tried making once and failed, can't wait to get it right!
They look beautiful!!
I have never tried these, because I have never been hooked: I am not a sweet tooth! But I have noticed that for the last years the French were obsessed with macaroons and verrines!
Another French website you might want to check out for macaroons is la cuisine de Mercotte, I think you'll love it too!
I love Tartelette's blog and I keep coming back to it, but I don't make the cakes, I always go for savoury!...
Looks to me that you are mastering, I draw my hat to you! :)
Your macarons look perfect. I'm going to Paris in April and can't wait to try them. Then maybe I'll have the courage to try the recipe. Or maybe not.
they came out great, but pretty much everything you touch comes out perfect! I've never made these before and am afraid too! lol
Ah, never had macaroon before... If I found it in the store, will sure get a pack coz your macaroon looks so tempting.
Very nice!! I have not tried making macarons!! I really need to put on my baker's apron soon!
I swear, I'd mentally told myself to goggle a macaron recipe after the food blog readings that I do at night..and here you have one for me. :D The ones you made turn out so yummy looking!!
I would love to try tis out one day :) You have done a great job. Not easy to get the right size and nice shape like yours :)
