We all love the classic macaron flavors of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry, but why not switch it up with a soon-to-be classic: Oreo. It takes America’s favorite cookie, the Oreo, and reinvents it into the French favorite, the macaron.

TOP TIPS FOR MAKING FRENCH MACARONS
THE MERINGUE!!!! That meringue HAS TO BE STIFF! I had no idea French meringue could be whipped to such a thick marshmallowy consistency but all it takes is a bit of extra whisking. You’ll notice the meringue start to fill the whisk when you’re getting close to the right stage.
Age your egg whites! Separate the eggs, place the whites in a clean glass, cover with plastic wrap and let them hang out in the fridge for a few days before using. This will dehydrate them and make them perfect for macarons.
Sift, Sift, SIFT! Those larger pieces of almond flour will mar the surface of your macarons. Best practice is to sift then whiz in the food processor and repeat two more times. Discard the larger particles, don’t try to press them through the sieve.
The mixing will take some practice, you will fold and fold the batter and then use the spatula to GENTLY press the batter against the bowl. You want to remove some of the bubbles but not to many… Continue this until it reaches a thick “lava” consistency. It should slowly fall off the spatula in ribbons and be able to form a figure eight without breaking.
Pipe the macarons perpendicular to the surface. If your tip is pointing a bit in any particular direction when you pipe the macarons might be oblong or malformed.
Add your coloring to the meringue after it reaches the soft peak stage.
When you are finishing the piping motion stop squeezing the bag and pull up with a circular motion.
The macarons will be best after 2-3 days resting in the fridge.
If you over-bake the shells and they’re too crisp, brush the bottom with some milk before assembly to soften them up.

Howdy! My name is Dan, creator & sort of charming host of MANCAKE! Dad to my Corgi-Jack Gwennie & avid baker. Far from a lot of bakers out there, I don’t have kitchen memories with my mom. I don’t have treasured heirloom recipes, & I had absolutely no background in baking before I found my passion for it at 23.
With teaching myself through creative ambition & trial and error over the years, I decided to invite everyone into my kitchen to share my recipes. Though MANCAKE, I hope to encourage other home bakers to discover their joy in the kitchen and see that baking from scratch isn’t as scary as it may seem. Actually, it may be just what you need to unwind after a stressful day.
