Macaron Making

Last week my dad and I attempted to make French macaroons even after seeing numerous posts about how difficult they are to perfect. Everything was going perfect until I realized I had forgotten to whip the sugar in with the eggs before adding the almond flour. I mean, duh, how do you make cookies without sugar? We still continued making them and they actually didn't taste absolutely horrible (but they were barely Instagram worthy). I used the recipe that came with this kit that I found at Bed, Bath & Beyond. 

This is where it all went downhill. 

Moral of the story: leave the macaron making to the professionals.

Have you tried making macaroons before?
