Baking French Macarons has been on my list for this holiday season, but I wasn’t sure which theme they would fit in. Then I figured it fits perfectly into ‘Street food’ and ‘Edible Gifts’ themes. To clarify this recipe is for both blogging marathon and bake-a-thon. Two birds in one shot 🙂 So I have an easy to make Chocolate Macarons recipe for you today.French macarons are sold as street food in France. How lucky are those folks who live in France. Boxes of macarons are sold in the stores here, but they are super expensive. I wish I lived in France to eat these chewy and delicious treats almost every day. I was always under the impression that baking macarons is a very tedious process and all the steps need to be followed to the T. Which was the reason why I didn’t bake them all these years after my first attempt. But then I wanted to give them a try again this holiday season and found these Chocolate Macarons recipe on David Lebowitz’s site. DL is a master baker and I know that his recipe would definitely work out.It wasn’t a surprise that the recipe turned out just perfect. I didn’t have to jump through all the hoops that I jumped when I previously made macarons. There was no need to age the egg whites. Also I just beat them till the whites were really stiff and firm, about 8~ 10 minutes on the stand mixer. Just have faith and make these macarons – they will turn out absolutely perfect.Chocolate macarons sandwiched with creamy chocolate ganache make for a rich and decadent treat for any time of the year. But these are just perfect as edible gifts during holidays. Lets check out what my fellow marathoners have cooked today for BM# 83. This is part of the Bake-a-thon 2017. [inlinkz_linkup id=740397 mode=1]
