October 2009 Daring Bakers' Challenge: Macaroons

The 2009 October Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe.

Yeah. I was SUPER excited when I learned this month's  challenge were those adorable French cookies; I had decided nary a week before that I would attempt to make some.  Unfortunately, I failed horribly. Twice. I'm not sure what exactly went wrong, but I think my almond flour was too coarse. I'm super disappointed, but also super determined to get this right, so expect to see more macaroons soon!




These aren't right at all (well, they are tasty). Ugh is all I have to say. I hate failure.
