Rainbow French Macarons
Smooth, domed almond meringue shells with ruffled feet come in every color of the rainbow, sandwiched with silky buttercream. Crisp at first bite and chewy inside, they make a jewel-box display for showers, parties and gifts.
Test kitchen note: Let piped shells rest until a skin forms and they no longer feel tacky, about 40 minutes; that skin is what creates the feet.
