Brush Stroke Macarons

In addition to creating a new flavor, I also experimented with painting these macarons with a dash of edible paint. It can really make a difference in the look of the cookies.

The macarons by itself were looking great, but I still wanted a bit more color and fun, so I decided to paint them with a brush, to give a blush pink brush stroke on top of the macaron shell. I love the effect.

They were perfectly crunchy, chewy, with the slight salty sweet caramel notes from the buttercream frosting and piece of caramel sandwiched in the center.
