You are not kidding about the prices of these little "cookies" (don't call them that in the French bakery...they will correct you...mac-a-rons!) They are tasty and beautifully colorful (blues, greens, yellows, pinks, purples, etc.) and VERY expensive at $1.75 each. But we were on vacation (St. Armonds Circle in Sarasota, FL) and there was a bakery called Le Macaron. And that's just about all they had, that and gelati. They had macarons in the flavors of basil, blackberry, lime and latte and about 12 others. We tried the gingerbread, a chocolate and a latte. Yum. Thank you for providing the recipe, I cannot wait to try a batch...now I just need to decide on a flavor!
