Spring fling

This spring I've caught the french macaron fever! I've always wanted to make them... they're just so pretty and proper, and, lets be honest... so good to eat!

So I finally built up the courage to whisk them out. I wish I would have looked up recipes before now because macarons only call for 4 ingredients for the cookies and 2-3 for the filling. Super easy, or so I thought. Apparently there are multiple fine lines in baking these little pretentious cookies!

Here is how my first batch turned out...

Okay for a first attempt... but, I'm going to keep practicing! You know the saying, "practice, perfect, yada-yada-yada!" I think I'll try some pink ones next or maybe some lemony yellow ones. Oooo, or decorated! I need some edible markers asap!

ps. The recipe is from Tartelette!
