French Macaroons

This week all I could think of was French Macaroons. I kept asking my mom to buy some she kept saying "tomorrow". So while me and my mom had our daily walk around the block we passed by a market. My mom needed to go to the restroom so I told her to go inside the market. While she went to the restroom. I looked up the ingredients for French Macaroons. I had everything on the list but powdered sugar and Jam. So I got the items and begged my mom to buy me them. She eventually said yes, thanks mom. When I got home I took out all the stuff that I needed.

I think my mistake was I used walnuts instead of almonds. Well anyways I grinded the walnuts for about 1 minute in the blender. I added powdered sugar and let it blend with the walnuts for another minute.

After that I put the mixture in a fine mesh sieve. Transfered the mix into the bowl. The remainings of the mix that were to thick I grinded them again.

Setting the walnut mix aside... I whisked egg whites and granulated sugar. Added my food coloring (pinkish red). 

Now for the fun part I mixed the walnut mix and my pink mix. I mixed it very well getting it to be a little thick and like lava.

 I put the batter into a pastry bag. My mom didn't to it right and when made this huge Macaroons. I made the small ones of course. So I me and my mom transfered all the batter onto a

sheet. Left it there for 30 mins and put it in the 

oven for 13 mins.

The Macaroons came out horrible! They were to hard and cracked. Well anyways I put Jam in between it and ate the nasty thing.

 It was sad. I really wanted to eat a real French Macaroon so my mom was nice a bought me some. Let me tell you the ones from Traders Joe's are amazing!
