These macaroons were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was still very good. I think I might try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my macaroons turned out a bit too dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

These macaroons were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a different type of sugar than the recipe called for. I'll definitely be trying them again with the correct type of sugar.

The macaroons were a bit dry, but I think that's because I used almond flour that was a little too old. I'll definitely be using fresh almond flour next time.

These macaroons were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. They were still very good, and I would definitely make them again, but I might reduce the amount of sugar next time.
