Finally! I gathered all my courage, and gave these beautiful French macarons a try! I wanted to make them for so long, they are so pretty, and I always wondered what it would be like to bite into one.
Even though I don’t think I was quite successful, they are amazing!
I never tried them before, so I have no idea how good mine are, but I believe they should have been more “cake-like” soft. The taste is great, I like it!
For the crispiness I think weather had something to do with it. Also, I think I have beaten them at the end a little bit more than needed, and finally, maybe even baked them a minute or two too long because I was scared to take them out too soon. In any event I am so making them again, and hopefully they will turn out a bit more moist, and less crunchy. Recipe is truly wonderful, easy to follow, and they are pretty, and glossy! I filled them with chocolate butter cream from this recipe (cut ingredients in half).
I have followed a recipe for these macarons by Helen of Tartlette; she has published a Step-by-Step French Macaron tutorial in the second issue of Desserts Magazine. Thank you Helen! I absolutely love them, and can’t wait to experiment with other flavors, and colors!

They are perfect! I am afraid to make them also :)
Thank you Marija!
You should try!
Probaj, nije tesko, ali toliko toga moze poci naopako. Ukusni su, ali su moji ispali dosta hrskavi...
Bice bolje drugi put!
Wow for a first time maker of macroons they just look superb and perfect.
I too have never tried to make them at home as i always heard threy were difficult to make.
Looks like you do a perfect job on your first try...amazing!
i have had that recipe bookmarked for months and am way too nervous to make them.... they may have to be a New Year's Resolution: bake them or be banished LOL
Are you kidding?!!! They are PERFECT!!! I jumped out of my seat when I saw them!! They are 2 schools of liking for a macaron: either soft and moist for the shells or cripsy. I like to start with crispy because the buttercream soften them up in the end. Either way works!
joj i ja bas skupljam hrabrost za ove keksice... i trazim dobar tj. detaljan recept... sa svim upozorenjima sta moze krenuti naopako... pa da se upustim u pravljenje...
tebi su ispali predivno :)
Thank you for your wonderful comments, ladies!
Helen, I'm so glad you like them, and now I know they were a success, I though they had to be moist... I'm in love with macarons!
Endless possibilities...
Wow, these macarons are just gorgeous, wonderful job you did there! Can't believe it's your first time! I made them only once, they turned out pretty well, but my house burnt down the same evening... Afraid to try them again ever since :)
So sorry to hear about your house, miri! How horrible!
Don't give up on macarons; I put all my energy to it, and I did it this morning when I was home alone; kids in school, husband at work, no distractions, just peace and quiet... Good luck!
they look perfect to me!:))))well done medena!!!:)))
I never tried them at home and after seeing yours I might give them a go...
macaroons are beautiful petit fours. I love their little round shape and their texture, crisp from the outside and smooth and soft in the middle...
Those look great!!
i've never made them - call me a wuss, but i don't dare give em a try! however, i can't believe this was your first attempt. they're gorgeous and just perfect. x
More thanks!
Yes, first attempt! They are pretty, a little crunchy, but I guess that is OK...
wow...savršeni su! svaka čast...ja se još nisam upustila u avantru iako me stalno mame :)
Your macarons look picture perfect. You shouldn't complain:) You did an amazing job!!!
Fantastično su ti ispali i to još za prvi put:)))
Wow! Amazing job!
they looks so delicious.sad to say i don't have the gift to cook..but still keep on posting..,
What a fantastic job! I am impressed. Like many of the other commenters I have never made Macarons. You have inspired me to try!
Prekarasni su! Zbilja si me oduševila i izvedbom i prekrasnom fotografijom. :)
Wow! Your first attempt? Brilliant!!
Absolutely brilliant for a first attempt!
I tried making them twice following a different recipe, and both times they came out good and nice, but they didn't have that signature foot. You inspired me to try them again, yours are just perfect. Now i just have to find the peace and quiet to make them, as i think those were my missing ingredients before.
So I searched and searched for macarons online. Ordered one of each and they were either dry with too much flour or good, but the shipping was $50 to get them to me. Yikes. What to do...start my own macaron store. I can eat them whenever I want and now I share them.
