Recently…the 30th of January actually, on a balmy
60+ degree day in Nebraska…. Which by the way NEVER happens. I’m not sure what’s up with the global
warming lately but that’s another blog.
60+ degrees, no wind, absolutely beautiful day….Jill (my running buddy)
and I had planned to meet in Aksarben and run the Keystone trail, however I was
distracted by Jones Bros Cupcakes and their promise of gluten free
macarons.
Like my previous post – these are my most recent
obsession. I can’t stop thinking about
them! I think what drives the obsession
is that most gluten free books fail to mention that at their purest, macarons
are gluten free!! These are extremely
delicate and challenging cookies to make as I spent an entire Sunday
learning. I’m determined to perfect this
cookie. Until then…I will rely on Delice
Bakery in Midtown Crossing and Jones Bros in Aksarben to satisfy my craving.
Surprisingly the Macarons at each bakery are quite
different. They both have the
traditional look, but the flavors are unique.
I love the raspberry Macarons at Delice…. The chocolate ones
were devine but almost too sweet. I liked
the sweet cookie with the tart raspberry filling the best!
At Jones ,the vanilla, yes vanilla – are freaking
amazing. The best vanilla cookie I’ve
ever eaten (which actually isn’t overly meaningful as I don’t choose vanilla
cookies too often). This isn’t ordinary
vanilla but Madagascar vanilla – it will change you life! I also enjoyed the chocolate Macaron, which
was probably the second best in the group.
I want more now!
