today i made some of the best macaroons i have ever made! (well the only macaroons i have ever made 'cept for the ones that i made when i worked at the cookie store, but those pretty much came already done).
anywho! i posted about these cookies a while back but this time i am going to put the recipe in my post because you have just got to try these.
this time though, i dipped them half-way in a chocolate ganache' (recipe below) and they are absolutely divine!
hope susie and her hubby like them. i am bringing them to work (and this is just so me and mike don't eat the whole batch ;)
