Since my trip to Paris last year I have had a slight obsession with macaroons, especially Laduree macaroons. If you are unfamiliar with the story behind the macaroon or what Laduree is, I strongly urge to check out their website, it just makes you smile :)

It was my plan this year to prepare them for my friends at my holiday tea party that I host each year. I knew going into this that it may be a bit difficult as I have been told by various people they are very difficult to prepare. So being that I consider my mother a baking guru, I asked her to assist me.
We went back and forth over the recipe and finally agreed on my original Laduree inspired recipe. Even after arriving and beginning to cook my Mom was still saying I should not have high hopes for these. I kept assuring her that they would be perfect and to be optimistic. Well 3.5 hours later, voila! The macaroons came out perfectly and I got to send her home with some adorable treats that I knew from the start would turn out just lovely. I told you so, Mom!
I think we started a new Christmas macaroon tradition!
