I've been wanting to make some super-fancy cookies for Christmas goodies, and I've always wanted to try French macarons, so I decided to try my hand at baking them! I read up on it, and knew they were tricky to pull off, but I figured how hard could it be? My first try was... okay. They were definitely too big, and seemed a little grainy, which I guess means I didn't sift/grind the almond flour enough? And I'm pretty sure that I beat the eggs too much, since it wasn't quite as smooth as I thought it should be once I folded in the almond flour. It's supposed to fall off the spoon in "ribbons", but it mostly plopped off the spoon instead. I'm going to do a bit more reading up, try these cookies again, and get back with the results!
