CINNAMON ROLL MACARONS



Cinnamon Roll Macarons image

These macarons are a winter/fall staple for me-inspired by the classic cinnamon roll, they are a delicious treat for a cold or snowy day. These pair well with a mug of tea, and can be eaten as a dessert or just a snack. Try custard, mousse, ganache, or any other buttercream as fillings, too. -Elizabeth Ding, El Cerrito, California
