Description
Macarons, light-as-air French almond meringue cookies, are not to be confused with our American-style coconut macaroons. Macarons are known to be an elegant treat that can also be finicky to make; with a plethora of different recipes and techniques available, we found that this method, which includes making an easy sugar syrup, delivers consistent results. The resulting macaron shells are delicate yet slightly chewy, and they're sandwiched around a luscious filling of French buttercream. For ideas for flavoring your macarons, see the "tips" section before getting started.
