My oldest daughter had her junior prom last night and I was in charge of dinner for her and her group of friends. Her lunch table are my macaron flavor “taste testers” and the girls all wanted my macarons for dessert. Each girl picked their favorite flavor and I got to work. I made over 250 so I could send some home with them the next morning. (All the girls stayed at my house last night too.) They are still not perfect, but Crystals recipe gave me so much more confidence going into this weekend and I’m so thankful. Flavors were: Pina Colada buttercream with Mango Curd Birthday Cake Buttercream Key Lime Pie Lemon buttercream with raspberry curd Banana Milkshake White Chocolate Ganache Cotton Candy buttercream Peanut Butter buttercream with brownie batter center Wild blueberry white chocolate ganache with lemon curd center

​I’m currently recording and editing a comprehensive macaron course designed specifically for my visual learners and I’ve decided to release the whole thing for FREE. ​No charge for the recipes. No charge for the how-to videos. All I ask in return is that we keep this community thriving! I want you to continue showing up for your fellow bakers, sharing your big wins, and fails. Can't wait for you guys to see it.

Shells came out a little lopsided.. but my biggest issue is They’re hard, all the way thru Any tips and tricks? Baked 320* f on convection Oven door open for 6minutes then closed door for 16 min Edited to add** I baked on parchment paper which I have never done Could this have contributed to? Thank you for any and all help!

Okay this is my fifth time trying macaroons but my first time using your recipe. And I'm not going to lie your recipe intrigued me because it only uses the mixer but also dumping raw egg whites into my meringue was a crazy thought. The first tray almost perfect! Slightly lopsided on the back side of the tray that was like deepest in my oven. So I decided for the second batch to rotate the tray halfway through. And as soon as I rotated the tray and set it back down every one of them cracked 😭 I also have a convection oven and I forgot to turn my fan off. Overall I'm super happy. And the fact that I can do the macronage with my mixer is crazy!!
