Merry Macaroons | Christmas Baking

Hello everyone! Welcome to all my new followers :) Can't believe I hit the 200 mark, whoop, whoop! Thanks, everyone for your support!

Well with Christmas at our doorstep, I probably will not have any time for posts until the new year. So today I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Hope you all are enjoying this time of year :) 

So for my last post of the year, I wanted to share some macaroons that I just finished making to take to my parent's house for Christmas Eve. This was my first attempt at making them and I was surprised at how well they turned out for me (other than color.) I really wanted to make red macaroons and fill them with green icing (Christmas colors)... but since they turned out pink I just used a white filling. Not worried cause I'm sure they will taste just as yummy!

Here are a few pics of how they looked along the way...

Don't they look yummy?!? They are! I know, cause I had to try... I think I will have to go on a diet after the holidays are over, lol! If you are interested in the recipe I used, click here. Ann walks you through every step of the way and even has troubleshooting tips and a video to help you. You will also love her accent!

Thanks again everyone for following me on my wildcrafting journey through life. See you all soon... until next year!
