I was told that the French macaron is the hardest cookie to make, and I believe that to be verrry true! Whenever you're working with egg whites and a meringue, you're likely to find some trouble! The cookies are finicky and subject to the environment, so if it's humid, get ready for a fight. This was my 3rd attempt at home making this cookie and I was so thrilled to see that they worked! They might not be perfect, but damn, they were so close!
If you've never had the pleasure of tasting a macaron, I recommend getting your butt to a local french pastry shop ASAP! They are a wonderfully delicious and adorable treat. They are very trendy right now, so much so, that there was a whole day devoted to macarons in NYC. Macaron Day NYC. If you're in the NYC area, check out the pastry shops who were involved in Macaron Day and make it a point to go there and taste these amazing cookies!
