These cherry macaroons were a waste of time and ingredients. I won't be making them again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my macaroons turned out flat and dense. They didn't look anything like the pictures in the recipe.

These macaroons were a disappointment. They were too chewy and the cherry filling was too tart.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroons didn't turn out as expected. They were too dry and crumbly.

The cherry macaroons were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I've made these macaroons twice now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so light and fluffy, and the cherry filling is the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
