I used this recipe to make them, and was careful not to over beat the eggs. I split the recipe in half and dyed half teal and half pink. I pulled them out of the oven and was pleasantly surprised that they were the right shape, and even had the little foot!
In the middle I used jam in some and this recipe for the filling but added almond flavor to it. The filling was alright, but a little too buttery in my opinion and i may try and find another recipe for next time.
I'd consider this baking adventure a success!
Very beautiful! Much smoother than mine. I'm shocked that you could use regular food coloring; the recipe I had to use banned it saying it would cause them to go flat. Did you buy real Almond flour or did you go the Almond meal route?
ReplyDeleteI was expecting cookies shaped like wangs. Disappointing.
ReplyDeleteThese look fantastic though. : )
I bought almond flour which turned out to be SO expensive!! maybe next time I'll chop my own almonds.
ReplyDeleteIt is so expensive! I used Trader Joe's almond meal sifted three times and couldn't get them as smooth as yours. I suspect the might just be an expensive thing to make, which certainly explains their cost at bakeries.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit! You're my hero. I have not been brave enough to attempt french macaroons yet. Can you come visit so we can go back to that macaroon place in Chelsea??
