macarons #3 finally got it!

i know i'm a bit behind in my posts, but i have a good excuse. we moved :) i'm loving our new home and we're fairly settled. so here we go again...

after a great deal of trial and error, i finally got it right! the problem was measuring the egg whites prior to drying. be sure to have 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons after you let the egg whites sit out... but to be honest i don't even let them sit out. i separate my eggs and use them right away. also reduce the temp to 300F. i don't always sift my powder sugar either. so the long awaited macarons are done! now on to the next project.
