Scrumptious Raspberry Macarons Recipe

Filed Under: BLOG, Cookies Recipes, Dessert Recipes, Recipes Tagged With: , ,

I confess that I have a real sweet tooth here. My sweet tooth truly extends to baked goods, especially to a variety of pastries, such as macarons.

I have also admitted here that I am a huge Disney World fan.

Well in Epcot, I happen to love visiting the many different countries, especially France.

Disney and Epcot

Why?

Because I love French pastries, especially once again macarons.

Something about these little pieces of French pastry heaven sends me to my happy place.

So, I recently found a delectable recipe for macarons that I could resist from the likes of Villa Azur‘s Executive Chef Erwin Mallet.

Did you know that May 31st is National Macaron Day?

So this is a great way to celebrate with this yummy and scrumptious macaron recipe share.

Plus, the colors in this one could also be a wonderful Valentine’s Day treat for your Valentine!

    I love Macarons, they are so good I can never eat just one, but making these scrumptious yet delicate cookies is another matter all together. You are one brave cookie Janine 🙂 I also love to bake but I currently have no one to bake for.
    I had no idea there was a National Macaron Day

    Long day at the farmers market, so I’m late, and for that I’m sorry. Now, regarding this recipe, if you have any extra laying around, just shove them in a box, slap our address on them, and I promise to give an honest review. 🙂 Have a great Thursday, Janine!

    I can’t believe you made them! Only one of my friends has been brave enough to try! My mom is obsessed with them so I send them to her for her birthday every year. How fun would it be to make them for her?!

  13. Cynthia says

    You know, I have to say that I’m not sure I’ve tried macarons. But they DO look delicious and I’m with you: I have such a sweet tooth. Hehe. I need just a little sweetness in just about everything, so I’ve learned to sweeten things with organic, calorie-free healthy alternatives. But that’s beside the point, hehe. I am going to have to try these and I love seeing the connection with Epcot, France and macarons. Hehe. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week, my friend. I’m so grateful for you, your wonderful love and support and all the amazing things you do and all that you are! <3
