Oh My! More Macarons!

I really can't help my self. In part because I love to eat them. In part because they are easy and fast to make. In part because they are so pretty- both piped out, baked in rows, as well as little sandwich cookies. One can color them, top them, fill them, then eat them.

 These I made pink meant to have the salted caramel ganache, and blue meant to hold the peanut butter and chocolate. I loved them both, but the PB & C did not get as high reviews from others. Nobody ever complains about the caramel ones.... ever.
 I love the soft pillowy egg whites before the dry ingredients are added.
 I intentionally left some pink batter in the bag to see how the initial cookies would come out. The few that were affected were very very cool looking.


It's so hard not to just pop them in my mouth before filling. But then I remember how excellent they are after they are filled....
