This certainly exactly what most bakeries/coffee shops do sell!! These are my favorite and I have been on a search for the exact recipe for years!!! Thank you for posting this!! They came out perfect and I had rave reviews along with recipe requests!! YUMMIE!! -
I made these to use as gifts for Christmas. They are very good and I would make them again. -
These were great, just the Macaroon recipe I was looking for! I dipped the cooled cookie bottoms in some melted bittersweet chocolate and let set. My family loved them and they stored well (almost 2 weeks) in an airtight container on the counter. Thanks!
