Macarons have a sort of wonder reserved for them, a certain high favor that is not usually bestowed upon cookies. Their tricky preparation and French origins make them seem a little inaccessible to the home cook, a problem compounded by the fact that until recently, nearly all macaron cookbooks were printed solely in French. I had two macarons at a fancy pastry shop in New York a couple years ago, and decided to learn how to make them. There are a lot of resources scattered around online and in books, so I decided to compile all the information I use here, in one place.
