Recipe Description
There’s nothing more satisfying than having your french macarons come out perfectly unless maybe they’re Christmas macarons. These gorgeous Christmas trees have a bright red vanilla frosting in the center. You could substitute the vanilla extract for peppermint extract or any other extract for a different flavor too. I also dug out these cute little edible gold stars from my cake drawers. I had forgot about them until Wesley, my husband, had reminded me. Thank goodness I have him to remind me of most things. I’m one forgetful lady.
I’m seriously in love with these macarons. I think everything is a little more magical when it’s Christmas related. Yeah, I’m one of those crazy Christmas people. I listen to Christmas music every day starting Thanksgiving Day until Christmas. I then pout the day Christmas is here because I have to wait another 11 months to put up all of my decorations back up, watch my movies and listen to my Christmas music.
