Coffee Macarons....!!!

Macarons have always been the trickiest to make.. But dont know thistime i felt it easy maybe thats why it came out well :) Its all about the proportion, the way you mix it up. But there is always a way out to bring it well. If you find your batter a bit loose you can add enough almond powder to stabilize the consistency....! So now on to the recipe... For a detailed recipe you can check my french macarons post.. This is just the recipe to bake the coffee macarons!
