Easy and Foolproof Macarons

Storage: Macarons store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage. Simply remove them from the freezer and let them come to room temperature before enjoying.

Variations:
Fillings: You can switch up the filling flavors to suit your tastes. For example, try raspberry ganache, pistachio buttercream, or coffee cream for a different twist.

Colors: Get creative with colors! You can make rainbow macarons, pastel-colored ones for special occasions like weddings or birthday parties, or even seasonal-themed colors.

FAQ:
Q: Why aren’t my macarons forming “feet” when baking? A: Make sure to let the piped shells sit at room temperature long enough to form a slight crust before baking. If the shells are too wet, they won’t develop properly. Also, ensure you’re baking at the right temperature to avoid overcooking them.

Q: Can I use a different type of sugar for this recipe? A: It’s best to use powdered sugar for macarons because it dissolves easily and helps achieve a smooth and fine batter. Using another type of sugar may affect the texture of the shells.
