Product Information

You can eat right away or, as some professionals prefer, cover and refrigerate them 12-24 hours so the macarons and flavors can mature. Bring to room temperature before serving. (I usually just serve them right away!)

When freshly baked, macarons will have a tough shell. To achieve the melt-in-the-mouth consistency macarons are so famous for, the little shells need time in the fridge. After filling the macarons with your filling of choice, Place them in an airtight tupperware or container. Let macarons chill at least 12 hours in the fridge. Don’t trust your oven thermostat! Buy a thermometer and place it in the middle of your oven, to get the exact temperature. Ingredients For The Macarons The ingredients used are very important for the final resulting macaron cookie. You must use good quality ingredients, as well as exact quantities in grams.

The minimum resting time is 24 hours, but I recommend at least 3-4 days. According to Pierre Hermé, the optimal 'ageing' time for egg whites is 1 week. If using parchment paper, dab a little bit of batter on the bottom of all four corners of the parchment paper. Use it as a "glue" to keep the paper attached to the tray while piping. Or use magnets to secure the paper onto the tray.Using the spatula, gently transfer the batter into the piping bag. Almond Meal/Flour – It’s really important to have finely ground almond flour. Bob’s Red Meal is always a good choice but I’ve used Trader Joe’s and now I use Costco Brand and it works great (and is super affordable!). If you can’t find almond flour you can also grind and sift your own almonds, but make sure you have a very strong food processor, they are very finely ground, and you’ve sifted out any larger chunks of almond. Spoon the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a medium round piping tip, such as Wilton 12, Wilton 1A, or even Ateco 806. The macaron batter is very drippy, so transferring to the piping bag can be messy. When making any meringue, it's crucial to remember to use a squeaky clean bowl. Traces of dirt or grease will prevent the meringue from forming properly.Spoon the macaron batter into your piping bag fitted with your piping tip. How to Fill a Piping Bag with Macaron Batter
