reposting an old post cause i restarted da blogggg! (formerly kitchenbums...now just kitchenbum) this post is from back in july, when my friend maya and I made macarons with our friend rachel. let us begin! (again)
macarons are infamous for being the fancy, impossible to get right, french cookie. so, armed with egg whites (six, because SOMEONE ruined the first three), and determination, we set out to make them. we got lucky. really really really lucky. our almond-chocolate-ganache macarons turned out perfectly, with a foot and everything.

shoutout to our friend rachel who shared a live saving secret with us - dip your finger in water and flatten the tips left from piping them, then let them sit for 15ish minutes before you put them in the oven. you want the top to harden a little. ours happened to sit for closer to 45 minutes because we forgot to turn on the oven...#oops.
okay. let's take a moment to appreciate that chocolate ganache is a thing. it was my first try making it, and we didn't have heavy cream. so, i threw some half & half in a saucepan with about 4 kinds of chocolate and then stuck it in the fridge. it was the perfect compliment to the almond in the macaron.
thanks to whoever posted this recipe. you have brought happiness to our lives
