My first attempt at making French macaroons was not as successful as I had hoped. I was unable to create the "foot" of the cookie. I think the use of five egg whites may have contributed to this failure. With the used of lemon zest and yellow dye, these macaroons were tasty, even though they didn't correctly form. Next time I make these challenging cookies, I will use one less egg. Hopefully this will solve the problem.
