French Macaroon Recipe

Swoon for this sweet treat that's perfect fun for girly birthday parties – and easy to bake!

So long cupcakes and cookies; hello French macaroons! These miniature stuffed-sandwich cookies are taking over the pastry market. They make great treats for girly-girl birthday parties, mom gatherings – or just dessert for the family.

French macaroons are just as visually appealing as they are appetizing. The bright colors make them an eye catcher. And the sweet cream in between the crispy cookies make them a sweet-tooth pleaser. Kids will love being able to help make the colorful cakes and putting the sandwiches together, too!

Try this easy Food Network recipe for the macaroons and butter cream filling.
