This week's pick was
French Macaroons
I have never made (or eaten) a Macaroon cookie that wasn't made out of coconut - I guess this is how they roll in France. Bonus of this pick is that it is a gluten-free cookie that uses almond flour. My husband was super excited about this! And he LOVED these! He is already asking when I will make them again. They are a meringue-type sandwich cookie (though not as airy) with a butter-cream frosting in the middle. I liked the nutty flavor that the almond flour gave them. I thought these cookies were really good - of course can't compare to a good old chocolate chip cookie, but for something new and different, I did enjoy them. My kids also really liked them, so it was a great pick for my family!
It looks like we will be baking these again!
Check out Betsy's Blog for the recipe!
Glad they turned out well for you too!
