The first time I ever heard of macaroons was as an undergraduate student at UC Irvine. I was reading Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, where in one scene, the main character Nora hides one of her favorite treats, macaroons, in her pockets, concealing them from her husband. To my chagrin, that’s the main thing I recall from that play! Go figure. I have discovered however that, like Nora, I too like macaroons. So, thinking I wanted to make something with my almost full bag of coconut flakes, I looked up a recipe for these sweet, scrumptuous treats. This recipe is from the Allrecipes website. It took me about 8 minutes to put the ingredients together, and another 25 minutes or so to bake. Hmmm, somehow I’m now inspired to reread A Doll’s House.

I LOVE macaroons. I’ve never thought to make them myself, just indulge in a treat every once in a while when I’m at Au Bon Pain. Now I want to run to my kitchen and whip up a batch. However, first I have to make my hubby his chosen cookie of the month – Peanut Butter Chunk cookies – before Feb. is history. Macaroons next weekend! I think I’ll follow one of the commenters and drizzle (or dip) them with chocolate. My mouth is watering already!
