French Macaroons

I love mommy moments that involve cookies and coffee.

Really does life get any better?

I was on the fence about my opinion of french macaroons for a while... they just look so lovely but they didn't taste at all like I was expecting.

That being said, I have finally made my decision on these cookies.

I love them.

I love them too much... see those green ones up in the first pic? yah, I ate the entire batch in 24 hours... sick, I know, but true.

I did share some with the boys, but Zac totally had to beg for one. Even after the begging, I was still hesitant in giving him one because I knew that meant I also needed to sacrifice one to Eli... yep, I'm that mom.

The mom that puts my need for sweets above my children's needs for sweets. I tell myself it will make them a better person if I eat all their goodies for them. That they'll grow up wanting apples and oranges while I hide in the bathroom with the cookie jar stuffing my face...

mmmm... I do so love my sweets!

The recipe I used for the green macaroons can be found here & the recipe I used for the white ones can be found here. Try them both! They're both great recipes.
