French Chocolate Macarons - delicate chocolaty cookies filled with chocolate ganache. They taste absolutely divine, pretty easy to make and they are perfect for Christmas table or as holiday gifts. Ingredients Makes about 25 sandwiched macarons Macaron Batter 1 cup (125g) powdered sugar 1/2 cup (50g) powdered almonds 3 tbsp (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder 2 large egg whites (66g, at room temperature pinch of salt 5 tbsp (75g) granulated sugar Chocolate Ganache Filling 1/2 cup (120g) heavy cream 4 ounces (120g) bitter sweet chocolate, finely chopped 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter, optional 1 tsp instant coffee, optional 1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C. 2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and have a pastry bag with a plain tip (about 1/2-inch, 12 mm) ready. 3. Grind together the powdered sugar with the almond powder and cocoa so there are no lumps; use a blender or food processor. Then sift the mixture into a large bowl and discard the larger lumps. 4. Using a mixer beat the egg whites until they begin to rise and hold their shape. While whipping, beat in the granulated sugar until very stiff and firm, about 2 minutes. 5. Fold the dry ingredients, in two batches, into the beaten egg whites with a rubber spatula. When the mixture is smooth and there are no streaks of egg white, stop folding and scrape the batter into the pastry bag. (standing the bag in a tall glass helps if youre alone. 6. Pipe the batter on the parchment-lined baking sheets in 1-inch (2. 5 cm) circles evenly spaced one-inch (2. 5cm) apart. 7. Rap the baking sheet a few times firmly on the counter top to flatten the macarons, and remove air bubbles. Allow the macarons to sit for 20 to 30 minutes until a skin forms and they are no longer wet when lightly touched. 8. Bake them for 10-15 minutes. Let cool completely then remove from baking sheet. 9. To make the chocolate ganache filling: in a small saucepan heat the cream and instant coffee if used. When the cream just begins to boil at the edges, remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let sit one minute, then stir until smooth. Stir in the butter. Let cool completely before using. 10. Spread a bit of batter on the inside of the macarons then sandwich them together. 11. Let them stand at least one day before serving, to meld the flavors. Serve macarons at room temperature.

I am 12, and I tried to make these macaroons, I tried tasty fool proof video didn't work, tried this oneCame out perfect, but I'm a noob and didn't make them perfect circles but it has the feet and a crunchy outside and a soft inside, the recipe is great and easy to follow unlike tasty's. Great for people who love baking and will give them a nice easy challenge

2 questions1) whenever I fold the dry ingredients into the egg white, there is so much excess powder and thick. It get a bit better when I beat another egg and add that in but is there a reason that it just turns into a dry lump? 2) how long do you wait for the ganache to cool because mine just doesnt seem to thicken like yours

Okay, i tried this recipe seven months ago and they kind of failed. After some research and 14 trial and errors of different recipes, I decided to give this one another shot. And oh. My. God. They were my very first perfect macarons. Thank you so so so much

I made this and I checked on mine at 11 minutes and they were still sticking so I assumed they needed more time. At 14 minutes I checked again still sticking. After 20 MINUTES I checked and they were still sticking, turns out they were burnt. Whoops.

HiI've seen that in your other macaron recipes, you used a water-granulated sugar syrup (heated up to 118C) to add to the egg whites, but here you don't. Can I ask, is there any difference between the two methods, or the macarons turn out the same?

If you follow this recipe exactly, trust me you'll get the best macroons I made mine and was really disappointed because I started munching them after 15 minutes, but wait for 24 hours and it literally will look and taste like store bought macroons

I used this recipe to make my very first macarons and they turned out great The shells are a little too sweet for me, and theyre not very smooth on top, but thats okay: (If anyone wanna see them check out the_cake_bros on instagram)

Anyone? Is it ok to use a blender instead of a food processor? Because I cant afford a good food processor. Please reply. I wanna know if I can achieve the same as a food processor with a blender, thanks
