I love when my friend Morgan comes over. So much. We always end up doing a project and it's almost always something that I've never made before. We had been chatting a bunch about wanting to try making french macarons, so we did! Today!
And man, that is one fickle cookie! I'm just going to pretend that they all turned out perfectly and look just as good as the ones below came out. You can pretend that too, and we will all be happy!

We made two flavors - strawberry and maple. The strawberry ones came out not so hot, but still tasty. The maple ones came out half great and half kinda not so great. We topped some with chopped pecans and some with just a tiny bit of maple pepper and filled them with a simple vanilla buttercream.
The good news (besides them being delicious!) is that we aren't feeling too discouraged and want to keep trying and making them better! We both have waaaay too many flavor combinations we want to try to stop now!
OK, well, I'm going to go slip into a sugar coma until Adam comes home.
How fun and the cookies look mighty fine! Macaroons are one of my fave cookies!! Nice post and thanks for sharing and have a T-riffic 2'sday!!
