Looking at past recipe threads I came across your recipe for Macarons. I taught myself to make them when DIL requested them for her and son’s wedding. I was having a hard time getting consistant results until I followed the instructions in Jill Colonna’s book “Mad About Macarons”. I get good results 90% of the time now. Those cookies are really good! I especially love the macs filled with Dark Chocolate ganache and I’ve made up my own like Black Walnut macarons with maple buttercream filling. Wish I had time to do some but have other Christmas baking to do!

I hope it was a small wedding! The Black Walnut Macarons with Maple Buttercream sound heavenly. I have two bags of almond flour I need to use. Your post to me was a reminder I need to do something with them.

I do miss the Weekly Recipe Threads. Not sure why they stopped. One of my favorite sites for decorated sugar cookies is Sweet Sugarbelle. An Airbrush for cookies or a KopyKake are two things on my Christmas Wish List.

Lol, When I just replied to you I saw my pic at post #101 of my Decorated Sugar Cookies from last year. I had forgotten how cute they were.

Apparently memory lane is getting shorter in my old age!
