If you’ve been following my page or channel for a while, you know I LOVE macarons! For this post, I wanted to bring together all the best macaron recipes into one spot! I have soo many unique and incredible flavors on my channel and I wanted to highlight all my favorites from over the years!

It’s Worth the Effort!

My love for macarons began about 4 years ago and it was NOT love at first sight! Baking these temperamental little cookies was a nightmare at first! I think I ruined at least four batches before I finally got something that resembled a macaron cookie! Now, macarons are my favorite dessert to make! I find the whole process a bit like meditation. It’s so relaxing and enjoyable once you get the hang of making them. Over the holiday season, I baked six batches for all my neighbors and friends to enjoy!

My Tips for Making Macarons

Here are few tips to help you with baking and enjoying these cookies!

1. Whisk the egg whites just until they reach stiff peak stage. Under mixing will result in a flat batter; over mixing can cause the cookies to spread while baking.
2. Fold the batter thoroughly, flattening the egg whites against the side of your mixing bowl. BUT, be careful – you don’t want to over mix the batter! That will also cause your cookies to be just flat, shapeless disks.
3. Allow those cookies to REST! Let the cookies stand for an hour at room temperature, allowing a thin shell to form on the outside. This shell gives the cookies their shape so it’s crucial! If your macarons are cracking on top, you might need to let the cookies rest longer. If you live in a humid climate, extend the timing even more as humidity and moisture will prevent a shell from forming.
4. If you are baking colored or white macarons on parchment paper and want to avoid a burnt or yellow bottom, line the bottom of pan with a silicon mat. I prefer to bake on parchment paper because I get better results but every oven bakes different so try both methods!
5. I recommend keeping these refrigerated for at least two days to allow the macarons to ‘mature’. When they ‘mature’, the shells become softer and even more delicious! Take them out at least an hour before enjoying to allow the cookies to thaw and come up to room temperature.
