How to make macarons - some tips and tricks

Some of you may remember a couple of my early attempts (here, here, and here), then the epiphany of the class at Lenôtre in Paris. Following that class, I had a number of successes and I found the recipe to be very similar to Helene’s (of Tartelette blog) and I used a combination of the Lenôtre techniques with Helene’s recipe most of last year, with varying success. Being a Taurean (stubborn) and A-type (a planner) what bugged me about macarons was how unpredictable they were. On many occasions I have wanted to make them for dinner parties or gifts but given the fact that I never knew if it was going to be a “feet” kinda day, I always chose something else. Until recently.

So, when I’m baking and working on a new recipe, I often take him a plate of samples. A few times lately (including yesterday when I was working on this particular recipe), he has raved on Facebook about what I made for him. In this case, the homemade oreos that my hubby was taunting his friends with on Facebook were already spoken for… Most of the cookies were destined for the cafe at our church.

These homemade oreos are easy to make. Lemon Sugar Cookie Recipe. Lemon Sugar Cookies I love all kinds of cookies, but traditional sugar cookies with frosting have never been my favorite.

I am just not a frosting gal. (I am sure if you put a frosted sugar cookie in front of me, I would eat it, but they just aren’t my favorite.) I do adore Lemon Sugar Cookies-they are soft, chewy, and rolled in sugar. These cookies are simple, elegant, and perfect for spring. The recipe includes lemon zest and fresh lemon juice so the cookies have a delightful lemon flavor. Rolo Cookies. Rolo Cookies We don’t buy candy very often, but when we do it is usually not to snack on, it is to bake with.

Rolo Cookies
