MACARON MANIA

I had my fill of these little treasures in New Zealand, but upon arriving in Utah, I was shattered to discover that only ONE bakery in this state claims to create these heavenly bites!

Well, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create some for myself. I'd have to say that the only other true UT macaron fan I have found is my sister's brother-in-law, Jon Bankhead.

I hope he doesn't object to eating lots of these cookies in the future ... I am still attempting to perfect the art of making them.

And I don't think perfection will be achieved anytime soon...

A friend of mine posted her Macaron secrets on a blog post and I thought it might help you in your quest :-)

I don't think I have ever eaten one, but now I am intrigued.
