The 2009 October Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe.
This is a last minute effort but I'm glad I gave it at least a quick try. Of course I got no feet, the little base that all French macaroons should have, and they didn't puff as much as I would have liked. However the cinnamon in the batch I made went over extremely well with my son Alex. Another day and I *will* try these again...

here's my son Alex in his haunted tree Halloween costume.
Since it's relevant, there is a super cute commercial I posted last year that's for my husband's game Chuzzle and it features macaroons! *BTW, Chuzzle for iPhone/iPod Touch will hopefully be out before Christmas for those interested.

Feet or no, your macs look simply delicious! Seriously, I would be very happy with one of these lovely sandwich cookies any time... Nice work. :)

Yours turned out nice and I like the addition of cinnamon! Nice job!I need a few more tries with the recipe I think. My egg whites fell but the cookies were still yummy despite being thin. :)
