A successful French Macaron recipe

While I don’t believe in foolproof macaron recipe, I can tell you that my macaron shells recipe has been tested by not only me, but also many of my readers with great success over the years.

3 winning qualities:

  • My recipe uses French meringue method, which is the easiest meringue!
  • It also has reduced sugar amount without compromising the texture!
  • And lastly, it’s tried and tested by not only me, but also hundreds of my readers.

These dainty little almond cookies are simply divine! And I’m here to help you find your groove with these finicky cookies!

Difference between French Macaron Cookies and Macaroons

Yes, macarons and macaroons are not the same!!

Macaroons are little coconut cookies, often dipped in chocolate.

French macarons, on other hand, are meringue-based almond cookies filled with different fillings.

Macaron Recipe Ingredients

Before we jump into the recipe, we need to discuss the tools and ingredients you need to make a perfect macaron:

  • Egg whites – I’ve had success with carton egg whites. You’ll need 1/3 cup of egg whites.
  • Almond flour – Use super fine almond flour to ensure smooth tops. And avoid using oily almond flour.
  • Powdered sugar – I don’t recommend making your own powder sugar, because commercial powdered sugar has cornstarch in it. And it helps with texture of the cookies.
  • Granulated sugar – It’s important to use fine granulated sugar for meringue, as it dissolves quicker. You can also use caster sugar, aka baker’s sugar.
  • Cream of Tartar is optional and can be omitted. However, it helps to stabilize egg whites and create sturdier meringue. It’s just an extra insurance!
Ingredients for macaron shells.

Tools:

  • Kitchen scale is one of the most important tools you need to master macarons. Inaccuracy in measuring the ingredients could lead to major frustrations.
  • Sifter – You can use either sifter or fine mesh strainer for sifting the dry ingredients.
  • Mixer – Both hand or stand electric mixer works for making macarons. It’ll be hard (not impossible!) to whip the egg whites without an electric mixer!
  • Heavy duty baking sheet is sturdy and heats evenly. Stay away from dark sheets to prevent browning.
  • And here’re other misc tools that come in handy: 16in piping bag, Wilton 2A round tip, parchment paper, large silicone spatula and oven thermometer.

How to make Macarons

Step 1. Sift dry ingredients

Sift almond flour and powdered sugar three times. Yes, three. Not only are we combining the two ingredients, we’re also aerating the dry ingredients to get that beautiful full interior.

  • NOTE: Unless your almond flour is chunky, I don’t recommend processing the dry ingredients in the food processor, because you may over-process the almond flour, which would lead to blotchy shells from oily almond flour.

Tip

If you have up to 2 tablespoons of chunky dry ingredients left in the sifter, you don’t have to replace it. Simply discard those chunky bits.

Step 2. Make the meringue

Whisk the egg whites in a large mixing bowl until foamy. Then add cream of tartar and salt, and continue beating. Once the mixture is white, start adding sugar, one tablespoon at a time, making sure the sugar is mostly dissolved before adding more.

Whisk the meringue until stiff peaks form.

  • TIP 1: Room temperature egg whites whip better and get more volume, but cold eggs separate better. So separate the egg whites right out of the fridge, and allow the egg whites come to room temperature on the counter for about 30 minutes.
  • TIP 2: Make sure the mixing bowl and whisk are completely grease-free and egg whites have no yolks in it. Any trace of fat may ruin your meringue and it won’t allow your meringue reach hard peaks. Glass, stainless steel or copper bowls are the best!
  • TIP 3: Use super-fine granulated sugar, or caster sugar for meringue, as it dissolves easily.
  • TIP 4: Don’t rush it! Beat the meringue on low and consistent speed for the most stable meringue. I continuously whisk the egg whites on speed 2 or 4 on my KitchenAid mixer the entire time. It does take a little longer this way (12-14 minutes!), but I think it’s totally worth it!

Step 3. Macaronage

Add almond flour mixture into the meringue and gently fold until incorporated, using a rubber spatula. Then fold the batter until lava-like consistency, which means the batter is thick, yet runny enough to slowly flow off the spatula in a continuous flow to draw a figure eight.

Tip

One way to test the consistency of the batter is to drop the batter into a ribbon and count to 10. If the edges of the ribbon are dissolved back into the batter in 10 seconds, the batter is ready!

Step 4. Pipe the shells

Transfer the batter into a piping bag, fitted with a round tip (I use Wilton 2A tip). And pipe 1.5-inch rounds on two baking sheets, lined with parchment paper.

Tip

If you need a template, I made one for you. Subscribe to my e-mail list and download this custom macaron template for FREE. (This template is perfect for my recipe and super easy to use!)

Now tap the baking sheet on the counter for 3 times to pop any air bubbles trapped in the shells. If needed, use a toothpick to pop stubborn bubbles.

Tip

I prefer parchment paper and teflon mat over silicone mat, because they’re thinner and conduct heat better. But out of all silicone baking mats, this thin silicone mat is the best.

WATCH MY PIPING TECHNIQUE VIDEO

Step 5. Rest and bake.

Rest the shells before baking until skin forms. This could take anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours. It all depends on humidity. If you’re in humid climate, you may use a fan to expedite the drying process.

Tip

To test, lightly touch the top of the shell with a finger. It should be dry to the touch, and batter shouldn’t stick to your finger.

Bake the shells in a preheated oven at 300°F for 15-18 minutes. I don’t use convection settings for baking macarons. My oven is set to heat from top and bottom.

Tip

To prevent browning on top, place an empty baking sheet on a top rack to shield the heat from the top.

Tip

It’s better to over-bake the shells than under-bake them. If the shells are stuck to the mat, they’re not quite done yet. Check every 30-45 seconds after 18 minutes.

Step 6. Fill the macarons.

Fill the macarons with any kind of filling. The most common fillings are ganache, buttercream, jams and curds.

Once you’ve filled the macarons, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or preferably for 24 hours. This process is called maturing, which allows the filling to soften and flavor the shells.

French Macaron Tips for Success

Macaron success comes not just from a good recipe. It’s a combination of a good technique, understanding of your oven and quality of your ingredients.

Once you understand the technique and reasons behind certain steps, you’ll be well on your way to perfect macarons.

  1. Weighing the ingredients on a scale is crucial for setting yourself up for success. It’s so easy, and often unreliable, to measure the ingredients by volume. That’s why I provide only the metric measurements in my ingredients list. I really want you to have the best chance to succeed!!
  2. Stable meringue is the foundation of perfect macarons! If your meringue is weak, you’ll run into so many issues, like hollow macarons, no feet, etc. And I share my technique to achieve the most stable French meringue below.
  3. Macaronage is a step when we mix dry ingredients with meringue and fold the batter until perfect consistency!
  4. So, you can have the most reliable macaron recipe, measure the ingredients just right and fold the batter until the perfect consistency, and unfortunately, you can still FAIL, if your oven temperature is off. No matter how good your oven is, it’s important to find the sweet spot for YOUR oven. Every oven is different, and it’s totally normal for the oven temperature to vary 50°F up or down, which could make or break your macarons. That’s why I recommend getting an oven thermometer to double check the accuracy.

Macarons Recipe FAQ

Why are macarons so difficult to make?

There are many different factors are involved in making perfect macarons. For example, the following should be done just right to achieve the desired macarons: stable meringue, proper mixing technique, low humidity, accurate oven temperature, just to name a few. That’s why it’s important to experiment and improve your technique to make perfect macarons.

What is macaron filling made of?

Macarons can be filling with various fillings. The most common fillings are buttercream and ganache. Sometimes these fillings are paired with fruit curds and confitures. Check out my Macaron Handbook for in-depth macaron fillings recipes.

Do macarons need to be refrigerated?

It depends on the filling. If macarons are filled with shelf-stable filling, they don’t need to be refrigerated. However, most macarons are filled with perishable fillings, like ganache, and need to be refrigerated.

Is it cheaper to make your own macarons?

Yes, it’s cheaper to make macarons at home.

Why do macarons cost so much?

Macarons require advanced baking skills. Plus, ingredients aren’t cheap.

Ingredients

For macaron shells:

  • 100 g super fine almond flour Note 1
  • 75 g powdered sugar/confectioners sugar Note 2
  • 70 g egg whites, at room temperature Note 3
  • 75 g fine granulated sugar Note 4
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar optional Note 5
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • Gel food coloring if desired

For buttercream filling:

  • 2 large egg yolks
  • ¼ cup (50g) sugar
  • 3 ½ tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Note: I test all my recipes with both measurements for the most precise and accurate result!

Instructions

  • To make macaron shells, line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or teflon sheet, or silicone mat. (TIP 1: For even air circulation, flip the baking sheets upside down.)
  • To prepare dry ingredients, sift together almond flour and powdered sugar twice. Note: If you have up to 2 tablespoons of chunky dry ingredients left in the sifter, you don't have to replace it. Simply discard those chunky bits.
  • To make meringue, in a clean mixing bowl with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium low speed until foamy. (I set it to speed 2 or 4 on my KitchenAid stand mixer.)
  • When egg whites are foamy, add cream of tartar and salt and continue to whisk.
  • Then slowly add sugar one tablespoon at a time, while mixer is still running. Allow the sugar to dissolve after each addition.
  • If you’re making colored shells, add gel food coloring when the meringue reaches soft peaks.
  • Continue beating the egg whites on the same medium low speed until hard peaks form. Visual cues: Meringue should ball up inside the whisk, and when you lift the whisk, the meringue should hold a pointy end and have sharp ribs. (See pictures above or watch this meringue video for more information.)
  • To make batter, sift almond flour mixture into the meringue. Using a silicone spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the meringue until fully incorporated. Then continue to fold the batter until it’s runny enough to draw a figure eight. To test, take a small amount of batter and drop it into the bowl. If the small peaks dissolve into the batter on its own in about 10 seconds, the batter is ready. If not, fold couple more times and test again. Be careful not to over-fold the batter. (TIP: Making french macarons is all about the technique. This is one of the most crucial step. Let me try to describe the folding motion as best as I can: run the spatula clockwise from the bottom, up around the sides and cut the batter in half. If you’re beginner macaron-baker, I suggest to count every fold. It takes roughly about 50 folds to reach the proper consistency. After 50 folds, start testing the batter, and continue testing after every couple folds.)
  • To pipe macaron shells, transfer the batter into a pastry bag, fitted with a round tip. (I used this Wilton 2A tip.)
  • Hold the pastry bag at straight 90° angle and pipe about 1.5-inch rounds about an inch apart on prepared baking sheets. (TIP 2: Download my free macaron template. Simply pipe the batter to fill inner circle.)
  • Tap the baking sheets firmly on the counter (or using your hand) a few times to get rid of any air bubbles. You can also use a toothpick to burst some large air bubbles. This step ensures smooth tops.
  • Let the macarons sit out on the counter for at least 15-30 minutes, maybe up to couple hours, depending on humidity. When you lightly touch the macarons and the batter does not stick to your finger, then it’s ready to go into the oven.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Note: I don't use convection settings. I set my oven to heat from top and bottom.
  • To bake, working one baking sheet at a time, place one tray with macarons on the middle rack. (TIP: To prevent browning, place an empty baking sheet on top rack to shield the heat.) Bake for about 15-18 minutes. It’ll take longer for larger macarons. To test for doneness, touch a macaron lightly and try to move it. If it slides and wobbles, bake a minute or so longer. The cooked macarons should be firm to touch and the base shouldn’t move. (TIP: It’s always better to slightly over-bake macarons than under-bake them!)
  • Cool macarons complete and then remove the shells from the parchment paper. (TIP: Don't remove the shells while warm, you may risk breaking the shells, or the bottom might get stuck to the baking surface.)
  • To make the buttercream filling, in a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks slightly with a whisk and add sugar. Continue to whisk until the mixture is pale and sugar is mostly dissolved. Stir in the milk. Transfer the egg yolk mixture into a small saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring frequently. Continue to cook until it’s thick like pudding, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture back to the bowl and bring it to room temperature. Stir in the butter in three batches. Add vanilla extract and continue to mix until smooth. Transfer the buttercream into a pastry bag with round tip.
  • To assemble macarons, pair the macaron shells by size and arrange them on a wire rack.  Line them up so that bottom shells are upside down.
  • Pipe a dollop of filling on bottom shells. Place the top shell over the filling and press lightly so the filling spreads till the edges.
  • Store the filled macarons in an airtight container in the fridge for at least 24 hours to mature, which allows the filling to soften and flavor the shells.
  • To serve, bring the macarons out about 30 minutes prior to serving.

Tips & Notes:

Note 1: It’s best to use super fine almond flour to ensure smooth tops. Weigh the ingredients before sifting.
Note 2: I don’t recommend making your own powder sugar, because commercial powdered sugar has cornstarch in it. And it helps with texture of the cookies.
Note 3: I’ve had success with carton egg whites (Bob Evans brand, #notsponsored). You’ll need 1/3 cup of egg whites.
Note 4: It’s important to use fine granulated sugar for meringue, as it dissolves quicker. You can also use caster sugar, aka baker’s sugar.
Note 5: Cream of tartar is optional and can be omitted. However, it helps to stabilize egg whites and create sturdier meringue. It’s just an extra insurance!
Note 6: You can easily double this macaron recipe.

Excerpt from my original post from January 13, 2013:

Just a few months ago, these pretty little cookies popped on the screens everywhere I went. So dainty, colorful and tempting! Everyone was all ohs and ahs about how wonderful these treats are.

I’m curious person by nature. And since I could not find anything like this where I live (I live in the middle nowhere!), I googled the recipe for these beautiful treats. Found ton of recipes, read countless tips and tricks (apparently they are quite finicky!), drooled over many, many gorgeous photos, and I finally made them!

Oh, sweet little macarons, where have you been all my life? They were so absolutely delicious.

To make up for all the lost time without these gems, I was on the roll making them day and night. Ok, maybe a little exaggeration, but you got the idea, I was obsessed!

I can’t say I’ve perfected these delicate little cookies yet. But as you can see they’re not that bad.

Now, that I had made these gems more than handful of times and I’m pretty confident with the technique, and I thought I would share my process.

This recipe was originally published on January 13, 2013.

    Hi Shinee, thanks for the detailed recipe and handy tips! I have a fan forced oven (no option to heat the top and bottom element without the fan) and one side of the oven tends to brown the macaroons, so I had to undercook them as they were browning too quickly. I’ve tried using an oven thermometer to check the temperature but the browning still happens, even though the temperature is correct and consistent across the entire oven. Your suggestion to cover the top tray with baking paper was really helpful, however I only have one tray. Do you have any other suggestions?

    I’m so confused, how many egg whites equal 70 grams? I’m trying to convert it but I’m about to give up.I’m so confused with how many eggs or cups I use of egg whites.

      @Gena, it’s about 40 grams in a large egg. I suggest weighing the egg whites. Macaron is temperamental and requires exact measurements.

      @Shinee, thanks for the recipe! Keen to try your recipe this week. Seems to be using less amount of sugar than many others. I’m hoping for a non-humid day!

    Awesome!!! Hands down best instructions. I tried two other videos and recipes and failed but your wonderful, clear and precise instructions were perfect. My macarons were as good as any I’ve ever had. I learned so much from your videos. Now I’m going to try your raspberry recipe. I will also double the recipe the next time and cook them a little longer as the tops could have been a little firmer.
