Really? I was under the impression they were made with almond flour. I will have to try one some time!

Maccaroons are legit so easy to make. I love to take them to gatherings, because they're gluten-free AND kosher.

Connie, are you in SLC? Trader Joe's website says they have a store in SLC and one in Cottonwood Heights, and they have macarons in the frozen section that are something like $4-5 for a box of 8 or 10 macarons.

I am in Orem, about 30 miles south, and the part of town Trader Joe's is in requires Mad Max levels of driving and parking-fu. But I'm thinking about it.
Wait.
I think I saw macarons in the freezer case of my regular grocery store.
Uh oh.

My TraderJoes is overcrowded nearly to the point of causing me rage blackouts on weekends, but I've found that Wednesdays after work it's pretty quiet.
