Comment on French Chocolate Macarons Recipe by Melinda

I lost my recipe for chocolate macarons and after searching online, decided to try this one. Just follow these directions and you’ll have excellent shells. I sifted the dry ingredients 3x to make sure they were blended well. They were crisp and light on the outside w/ a rich, chewy center. One hour for drying time was perfect. After baking, I removed the parchment from the hot baking sheet and allowed to cool for approx. 10 minutes. They lifted easily and looked beautiful. They had a smooth top, nice foot, & crisp, light shell with a chewy inside. So rich and delicious you could eat them just like this! I made a chocolate almond buttercreme to put between the shells. Absolutely melt in your mouth. I’m so happy I lost my original recipe – this one is perfection.

Hmm, did anyone else notice that the first direction said: “toss blueberries in a fine sieve”? I’m guessing this was referring to the cranberries, not blueberries. Anyway, came across this recipe on a google search & based on comments, going to try it this morning. Thanks for sharing.

Made these this morning, yumm. Might want to do some fixing on instructions, looks like some cut and paste errors on #1.

No, it should definitely be assembled right before serving. Otherwise the noodles will become soggy and the cabbage will wilt.

Is it good when prepared the day before serving?

This is my favorite banana bread recipe as well. Hate to be a nag, but wanted to point out that you left out the measurement “cup” from both the sugar and the coconut. Wouldn’t want to confuse people. Thanks for doing such a great blog!

Made this for an asian style bbq with salmon and asian coleslaw. It was a HUGE hit. HUGE. And it got requested again, which is unheard of, for me. So thank you and I am gratefully passing it on.

Thanks!
