Home-Baked With Love in Slidell, LA

French Macarons (not to be confused with Macaroons--extra "o") are buttercream-filled meringue cookies.  As you bite into them, the delicate shell gives way to a soft, fluffy, and slightly chewy interior melded together by a sweet, creamy filling bursting with flavor.  They are magical, dainty, chic, stylish, and delicious in equal measure.

Unlike the confusing coconut macaroon counterpart, French Macarons are made primarily with almond flour and sugar, making them naturally gluten-free!  They can be extremely fickle to make though, you have to get everything just right. It is a time-intensive process, and for sure, a labor of love.
