Colorful and delicate almond meringue cookies sandwiched together with a creamy filling. Macarons come in a variety of flavors such as pistachio, raspberry, and chocolate, and are a popular French confectionery enjoyed around the world.
Ingredients:
  • Almond flour - 5.3 ounces (150 grams)

  • Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles (about 1 inch in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space in between each macaron.
  • Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface a few times to remove any air bubbles. Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until a skin forms on top.
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes, or until they are set but not browned.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, carefully remove the macarons from the parchment paper.
  • To assemble, pair up the macarons by size and spread a small amount of filling on the flat side of one macaron. Sandwich together with another macaron of the same size. Repeat until all macarons are filled.
