A Week of Baking in Photos - Part III

I didn't have any Matcha powder (green Tea), I used one envelope of good quality green tea.

I divided the mix intro four flavours, I wanted to experiment. I added 1 1/2 tbsp of cocoa powder to get the chocolate flavours, and I baked it in the same temperature at 325F for 18minutes... the chocolate cookies cracked. Later I discovered that chocolate macaroons are different and needs different recipe and oven temp.... Live and learn

For the original recipe i sprinkled some cracked caramel on top and in the frosting

Oh I forgot to mention that I used a spoon to mold my macaroons, I was lazy to fill three pastry bags

For the pink macaroons I tried to add a design on top with different color.
the frosting was white chocolate and rasberry

I always wanted to try making macaroons. but didn't find the time to do it, or at the last minute the recipe will be changed to something else...

Until one day I decided this is the day. It was stormy outside and we did get snow, yes, it snowed in April, I had my bulbs out and the crocus were ready to open. when the white snow covered them again.... I was so mad, I was so looking forward to Spring and to see my flowers and the green around me... enough white powder.... I had more than two meters of snow on my lawn . The closer to go by the Lake the snow still hard there , the lakes are still frozen and you can walk on the lake.

I always admired Helene's (Tartelette) Macaroons. When I spotted her step by step recipe at the Dessert Magazine, I decided to try it see the result.... Here are some step by step photos.

It's snowing outside, by the early evening everything was covered with 10 cms of snow
