Now that cold weather is long behind us, we’re indulging our sweet tooth with light-as-air, pastel-hued French macarons. (And forget showing up to a barbecue with a measly bag of chips; did we mention they make an excellent party platter?) Filled with rich ganache, jam, or gooey caramel, these chic little almond-meringue cookies are our new go-to sugar fix. Here’s where to go to score yours.
