ethylene, you should make some!

Not macarons, but a fabulous cookie with coconut are Jam Thumbprints. They are delicious and easy and beautiful. This year will be my fourth year making them. My MIL, my mom, and I are just about the only ones that eat them. A lot of people don't like coconut. The mind boggles. But what the hay, I still make them.

Oh jam thumbprints are one of my favourite cookies. Please to be sending care package to NYC, Lori!

i am thinking of making something that involves thin sheets of dark chocolate and blueberry and fluffy cake.

gaspode, I would love to! Another person that appreciates jam thumbprints is always welcome.

Wow... I just LOVE beautiful sweets. There's a semi-pricy sweet shop on my corner but they only tend to do American stuff- cakes sold whole or by the slice, etc. There's no french sweets in Buffalo. Which is a real shame as they seem to make things with the most amazing balance of taste and beauty.
I should try and find a nice sweet shop for next time I go to Toronto. Any suggestions from Toronto bunnies?
