French Macarons

After wanting to try to bake French Macarons for a while, I finally took the plunge. For a first attempt, they turned out pretty well and they tasted great. A few of them cracked on top and they look a little cracked around the edge. I'm also not sure about the color. I used a lavender food coloring paste, and I wasn't sure what hue they were turn become when they were baked. I used Nutella as the filling because that's what I had on hand, and I was too tired to make buttercream frosting.
