I have never tasted french macaroons and I hear they’re quite tasty so I’m sharing this photo as my desire to taste them one day. They are characterized by they smooth, domed top, ruffled circumference, and flat base. Connoisseurs prize a delicate, egg shell-like crust that yields to a moist and airy interior. These French macaroons are different from other macaroons because they are filled with cream or butter like a sandwich cookie. The flavors varieties are limitless, from the traditional (raspberry, chocolate) to the exotic (truffle, matcha tea).
If you have any advice on where to get them in NYC, it would be greatly appreciated. ;)

There is a woman with a blog called Tartlette. She is a baker and food photographer and she makes all different varieties of these little gems. She would be more of a place to get a recipe or to drool over the possibilities that these cookies have for flavor combinations. Check her out, if nothing else, it's magnificent food porn.

I'm so embarassed, I've been to France and never even had one! Hoestly, was before I joined the blog world so I was not in the know
From the way they look it's a sin to eat them! How could you eat something so pretty? But i admit they are mouth-watering!

I've never tried macaroons before either. They look delish!
There are many places in NYC but the most popular ones are Madeleine Patisserie and Macaron Cafe.
they look great and maybe even taste great. I am thinking of marshmallows, maybe because of the color. Share to us what they taste like when you've got them.
