Never baked any cookie or cake *decides to bake macarons*

if you breath the wrong way, the macarons will explode

why do I feel the NEED to master this after having never baked in my life

I make macarons regularly (at least once a month.) The first time I ever made them 2 years ago, I followed this recipe. I am grateful for the video, but I found the recipe calls for way too much sugar and is way too sweet. The granulated and powdered sugar in the macaron cookie mixture cannot be altered much, because it helps create smooth tops. However, you can halve the amount of confectioners sugar in the icing recipe. I highly recommend doing so. Also, I highly recommend only making half the amount of icing recommended. The recipe left me with bags full of icing left over, and if you halve the recipe you will only have a little left over and the perfect amount to fill all your cookies. Finally, to anyone trying out this recipe I recommend you look up the oven drying method. It really helps me ensure that my macarons do not have cracked tops or have hollow shells (common problem.) And don't be afraid of silicon baking sheets, a ton of professional macaron makers use them for baking these cookies, like Sugar Bean 슈가빈. Good luck!!!

I feel like diffusing a bomb is much more easier than making this

sheesh, now I know why they are so expensive

Preparation Make the macarons: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the powdered sugar, almond flour, and ½ teaspoon of salt, and process on low speed, until extra fine. Sift the almond flour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, beat the egg whites and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar until fully incorporated. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form (you should be able to turn the bowl upside down without anything falling out). Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add the food coloring and beat until just combined. Add about ⅓ of the sifted almond flour mixture at a time to the beaten egg whites and use a spatula to gently fold until combined. After the last addition of almond flour, continue to fold slowly until the batter falls into ribbons and you can make a figure 8 while holding the spatula up. Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Place 4 dots of the batter in each corner of a rimmed baking sheet, and place a piece of parchment paper over it, using the batter to help adhere the parchment to the baking sheet. Pipe the macarons onto the parchment paper in 1½-inch (3-cm) circles, spacing at least 1-inch (2-cm) apart. Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface 5 times to release any air bubbles. Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until dry to the touch. Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C). Bake the macarons for 17 minutes, until the feet are well-risen and the macarons don’t stick to the parchment paper. Transfer the macarons to a wire rack to cool completely before filling. Make the buttercream: In a large bowl, add the butter and beat with a mixer for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Sift in the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat to combine. Add the cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat to combine, until desired consistency is reached. Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Add a dollop of buttercream to one macaron shell. Top it with another macaron shell to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining macaron shells and buttercream. Place in an airtight container for 24 hours to “bloom”. Enjoy! Total Time 1 hr 50 min Prep Time 30 minutes Cook Time 20 minutes Ingredients for 30 macarons MACARONS 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar 1 cup almond flour, finely ground 1 teaspoon salt, divided 3 egg whites, at room temperature ¼ cup granulated sugar ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 2 drops pink gel food coloring VANILLA BUTTERCREAM 1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks, at room temperature 3 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons heavy cream

I love the details in this video! Thank you for making it!

macarons consist of 2 key ingredients: tears and prayers

Don’t look at them too much or they’ll get offended and deflate!!!!

Thank you! Thank you, because of this video I was able to finally conquer macarons! This is a wonderful feeling as I look at what I was able to accomplish with your help!!😀😊

Wow that's dedication 👏❤ thank you! I absolutely can not wait to try this ☺️

this gonna take me 28 hours to make and 4 minutes to eat.

I will never again complain about the price of macarons. NEVER.

For a beginner Baker like me this video is So perfectly & easily illustrated .. thank you for the tips & notices .. grateful!! ❤

Tried this and they turned out great!! Thanks for the tips!

I did this, and it worked so well! I made amazing soup.

*Tips:* - Crack you eggs and separate the whites the day before. Keep them in the fridge until you make your macarons. This dehydrates the egg whites, which makes your macarons have a better texture. - If your aren’t the best at piping, I would consider using a template. Just get a image from the internet of just a bunch of circles. Then print it out. You can put that paper under the parchment paper, and pipe the batter onto the parchment, following the circle template. After your done piping, carefully slide out the template from under the parchment. You can also reuse it. I would consider myself pretty good at piping. I’ve made over 50 batches of macarons, but I still use the template. It helps space them evenly, and makes sure they are all the same size. I would definitely recommend this. - If you think your macarons are under baked, because they wont come cleanly off of the parchment paper, they're probably not. I've made this mistake so many times, thinking they weren't ready yet. They wont come of cleanly immediately, you have to let them cool for at least 5 minutes. - If you do end up over-cooking them, leave them in the fridge for at least around 4 hours, but up to 24 hours would be best. I am not lying. If your macarons are over baked and hard. Leave them in the fridge with the filling in it, and it works wonders. My past 4 tries have all been over-baked, and doing this has helped so much. Hope this helps, Good Luck!

Thank you for this easy to follow video - my first time making macarons and they came out great!

Thanks for the perfect recipe and clear instructions! It turned out very well!!

I didn't think this was possible, but these macarons seem to be more sensitive than me

You know you're a real legend when you mess up a fool proof recipe

I did this with my mom 2 weeks ago and the macaroons were AMAZING!!! The best ive ever had, at least. The buttercream goes perfect with the vanilla and if ya eat them chilled.. MMMMMMMMMMMM I LOVED THESE!!!

Fool proof- HA, I always find a way to ruin anything.

If you don’t blink your eyes every 2 seconds, the macarons will explode

I’m a year late but this still might be helpful to some people Ingredients for 30 macarons: MACARONS: 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar (210 g) 1 cup almond flour (95 g), finely ground 1 teaspoon salt, divided 3 egg whites, at room temperature ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 g) ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 2 drops pink gel food coloring VANILLA BUTTERCREAM: 1 cup unsalted butter (230 g), 2 sticks, at room temperature 3 cups powdered sugar (360 g) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons heavy cream This may take an extra hour but here’s how to do it Make the macarons: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the powdered sugar, almond flour, and ½ teaspoon of salt, and process on low speed, until extra fine.

This looks so easy I los do the same with my eggs as far as diving the yolk from the white, great tips as well as it looks very good! Thank you for sharing truly appreciated

This video is the BEST of the BEST on Macrons... WOW... Thank YOU.

Can anyone appreciate that they worked a lot to find the perfect recipe.

wtf why did i watch this all the way through i dont even have the ingredients

Thank you! My macarons never looked good, and this recipe managed to make them look beautiful and tasty :)

I made these, and unfortunatly, they didnt come out as a classic macaron. They didn't have the feet, and they cracked on top a little. However, the texture and flavor was really spot on. It was my first time, so there's always room for improvement! The only thing I messed on might have been undermixing possibly. I would also just do a literal pinch of salt instead of 1 tsp bc they were slightly salty when you first bite into them.

"... If you wash your hands..." Dear God, why is that even optional?

How to make the perfect macarons: Ingredients: A few gallons of gas. A working car. A local bakery that sells macarons. Enough money to buy the macarons plus $20 extra to keep the attendant quiet.

Excellent video. Insane video production and quality. The macaroons look so delicious. Subscribed.

Never baked before- but I aced the macarons the first time. A very good recipe!

The first person to make a macaron must have had a lot of time on their hands 😂

Me: flips bowl while making Also me: *everything falls out and I have to restart*

I've made macarons (or I should say attempted) and this method, recipe, video is a GAME CHANGER!! THANK YOU. I almost had a tear in my eye when I saw I actually had feet. Victory!! These were excellent. I did a splash of Almond extract with a chocolate ganache filling. Thanks so much

I actually followed this recipe and they came out great 1st time around... thank you

I need to learn to bake these.. they're so expensive at the shop :(

Am I the only person who’s never had a macaroon before but I see them all of the time

Best video for these that I've watched. Thank you

I tried my first macaron yesterday… yummy! We got the frozen 12pk I found at Target. It tasted like the Mexican “Ostia” thing that you eat with cajeta. I tasted the almond in it(I didn’t even read the flavors on the box). We all liked them. It was crunchy in the outside and soft on the inside. My girls now want to try to make them!

once i am no longer broke, and we have oven, and i graduated school, and saved up money to take a break from working, and had a lot of time in my hands, and i can finally make macaron, it's over for yall-

Whoever reading this hope that you would able to make macaron.

Made these for a weekend project and I loved making these macron chips with the kids

These were delightful but incredibly sweet. I ended up making a raspberry shell with a tart lemon buttercream. It really helped balance the flavour!

This video is makes me realize how there's much harder things to do than math.

The peasant version of these are called Oreos, and they are still good.

Tried the it! work out great. I used a teflon baking mat with macaron circles, from Amazon and it raised and baked all round perfectly! really surprise with the results thank you for the video

Alexis: Some people describe it as lava, but let's be honest, how many of have really seen lava. Me: So, somehow, more of us have seen 'Wet Sand Ribbons' ?

i’m in quarantine and i decided to make macarons i’m going into this thinking it looks really easy Edit: it was really easy and they turned out great

Great video. Reading all comments. Hope to make some for the holidays! Love your soothing voice! Happy Holidays and thanks for the video!!! Hugs 🍪❤️

This is the perfect and easy way to the macarons,thanks for the recipe

INGREDIENTS: - 3 egg whites - 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar - 1 cup almond flour - 1 tsp salt - 1/4 cup granulated sugar - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract - 2 drops food coloring - 2 sticks unsalted butter - 3 cups powdered sugar - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 3-4 tbsp heavy cream thank you all for the gratitude, i hope it really does come in handy!

Im just wondering, whoever invented the macaron, how they developed this recipe. Cause it seems so complicated.

I nailed it first time, great video followed it exactly and took notes! My wife is happy

Excellent presentation in every way! Thanks.

*flips bowl w/ meringue all over head* nope peaks aren’t stiff enough

Hi everyone I'm the ingredients person 😄 MACARON COOKIE 1¾ cups powdered sugar(210 g) 1 cup almond flour(95 g), finely ground ⚠️1 teaspoon salt, DIVIDED⚠️ 3 egg whites (100 g), at room temperature ¼ cup granulated sugar(50 g) ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 2 drops pink gel food coloring(or any colour) VANILLA BUTTERCREAM 1 cup unsalted butter(230 g), 2 sticks, at room temperature 3 cups powdered sugar(360 g) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons heavy cream Now you know if U have to buy stuff!

I’m 10 years old and when I made them they turned out perfect first try thank you tasty for your amazing tips and tricks ❤

Delicious recipe! Tried it. M loving it!!!

Macarons are like the really picky people of the world

I love how she adds emphasis to her speaking and not making it all boring

I just made them and they came out perfect first try. *I made tiny ones with the extra batter and tried them once they cooled down, they’re so good ahh*

Thank You! My daughter and I used your video for our 1st attempt at macarons. A few mistakes were made, but the end results looked and tasted fine! Chief mistakes were butcher paper, because we couldn't find parchment paper, kitchen temp was a bit low for "film" to form in a timely manner, so the macarons settled a bit, and we used liquid food color.

I feel like ending world hunger is easier than this

Just a tip for anyone making these, I followed this recipe twice and both times they worked out very well, except there is WAY too much sugar in these macarons. They do work and they bake nice, but they are extremely sweet. The recipe I follow now uses another half cup of almond flour, only one cup of powdered sugar, and half a cup of granulated sugar in the meringue. I use preppy kitchen’s recipe and find it works perfectly pretty much every time. I also find you can substitute 1/4 cup of the almond flour for cocoa powder to make chocolate macaron shells. Good luck fellow bakers!! Edit: oh! And I also recommend weighing out the powdered sugar since powdered sugar can get very packed down if you’re not careful. 120 grams is perfect.

Thank you for this video. It’s brilliant!

Her voice is SOOO soothing. Anyone else agree? 👇🏽

Alexis: how many of us have actually seen lava? Me: how many of us have seen "WET SAND RIBBONS"

This is so beautiful keep it up I love this

I tried making macaroons for the first time a few days ago following this recipe and it turned out perfectly. I couldn't believe it turned out so good on my first try. I'm scared of making them again because maybe I just had begginers luck.

*Tasty:Wait 24 hour so the macorons can have a good taste* *Masterchef Junior: No can do*

3 eggs 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar 1 cup almond flour 2 tsp of salt 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Gel food coloring

Thank you so much! This was so helpful :)

I made macarons with a recipe and it didn't work out too great. But this video helped a ton thank you!!

THEY DON'T HAVE TO LOOK PERFECT THEY JUST HAVE TO TASTE GOOD -Adam Ragusea

Imagine if the meringue just plopped onto her head That wouldve been so funny 😂

Absolutely brilliant thanks for the video, you have made me a better macaroon maker. My partners favorite treat

I am actually making this and I hope they turn out amazing!

I stayed up until 3AM making these for my 5th grade french class. They actually turned out pretty well on my 3rd attempt. I’m a senior in high school now, thinking about making them again...

I’ve tried this recipe 8 times. No joke. I cried 4 times and was laughed at for crying over baking. I messed up every single time so if it’s foolproof then I am a failure

Wow wonderfully explained. Love your video

Wow... superb delicious Macrons... will definitely try this in my kitchen... Thank you for sharing💖💖💖

These macarons won't last for 24 hours when I'm around

Macarons are the high risk low reward food item to make.

Your such a good teacher and so good at explaining. I made them, they burnt and didn't have feet :(. But I am determined to try again!

Great cake. I like that you answer questions

The best part of this... is reading the comments. Can’ stop laughing🤣

Title Correction: The Most Foolproof Macarons You’ll NEVER make.

Thank you I need this for a potluck in a week and I’m trying it right now! Results soon!

Best of best way to tell perfect macrons

So this is why macarons cost like 20$ for one at bakeries

Here’s some things I learned while doing this recipe: 1. The buttercream in the recipe is WAY too sweet. It becomes icing rather than cream only put one cup of powdered sugar in your butter first and add more until you’re satisfied with the sweetness 2. Add more gel food coloring 3. Leave them in the oven for 1-3 more minutes after 17 minutes while oven is cooling down
