How To Make Macaron (French Macaroon)
Make a fresh batch of everyone’s favorite dessert! With these cookie recipes, you can bake all kinds of different sweet treats. Make a classic snack with chocolate chip cookies. Or, switch it up by adding nuts, raisins, and other ingredients to keep things interesting.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup almond flour
- Food coloring (optional)
- Filling of your choice (such as chocolate ganache, buttercream, or jam)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and almond flour. Add this dry mixture to the beaten egg whites and gently fold until well combined. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and gently fold until the desired color is achieved.
-
Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each macaron. Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
-
Let the macarons rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes until a skin forms on top. This step is crucial for achieving the characteristic “feet” of the macaron.
-
Bake the macarons in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they are set and have developed a slight crust. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
-
Once cooled, carefully remove the macarons from the parchment paper. Match similar sizes together and sandwich them with your desired filling.
-
Serve and enjoy your homemade macarons!
