French Macarons So, I wanted to share my basic recipe for French Macarons (the little sandwich cookies, not the nasty coconut things!) with you!  While the recipe itself is pretty simple (I can hear French pastry chefs shaking their rolling pins at me as I say that), it is a bit tricky to pull off, so I’ve shared my hard-won (read many, many failed batches) tips; although I’m certainly no expert!  Now, I can’t stand when a recipe makes you read the writer’s whole life story just to get how to bake something, so I’ve put the basic recipe right on...
