I can strongly recommend this recipe since 90 % of people who tried this succeeded in making macarons.

This recipe has a high success rate because of the "Swiss meringue" method that you whip the egg whites over a double boiler.
These macaron shells are easier to get browned, so when they look like they will brown, cover with aluminum foil, or turn off the oven, and continue cooking with the residual heat. For about 24 macaron shells (3-4 cm [1.6 in] diameter). Recipe by C:Blue

Ingredients

2Egg whites
1 1/2times as much sugar to the egg whites Granulated sugar
1/2of the weight of the egg whites Powdered lemonade
1same amount as the egg whites Almond flour

Cooking Instructions

1

Sift the almond flour. It's easier to sift if you chill it in the freezer until right before you use.
2

Put the egg white, sugar and powdered lemonade in a bowl, and whip over a double boiler at around 70℃.
3

Whip really well until the meringue wont't fall even if the bowl is turned upside-down.
4

You will have a white, fine, glossy, and slightly sticky meringue.
5

Remove from the double boiler, and sift in the almond flour from Step 1. So you have to sift the almond flour twice.
6

Gently combine the meringue and almond flour, then stir well as if you're breaking the air bubbles. The batter is ready if it falls very slowly into a ribbon.
7

If you're drying the macaroni shells, move on to Step 8.
8

Put the macaron batter from Step 6 into a piping bag, and pipe it out 2-3 cm diameter circles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Have 2-3 cm gaps between the macaron shells.
9

Let them dry until the surfaces become dry properly. Let them dry until the batter won't stick to your finger. They will turn a bit rubbery.
10

Preheat the oven to 160℃, and put the dried macaron shells inside. Set the oven temperature to 130 ℃, and bake for 15 - 16 minutes.
11

Once they are baked, remove the parchment paper after they are cooled thoroughly. If it's difficult to remove the parchment paper, put the macaron shells together with the parchment paper into the freezer for a few minutes. Then the parchment paper will come off easily.
12

The macaron shells are just right if it's slightly difficult to remove them from the parchment paper. They are over-baked if they come off easily, and you might get air pockets inside the shells.
13

Sandwich cream of your choice between 2 macaron shells, and they are done. It's nice to fill them with softened cream cheese, and they taste just like no-bake cheesecake!
14

They will be moist and tasty from next day onward. Keep them in the fridge, and eat within 1 week. You can wrap them individually in cling film, and put them in the freezer.
15

To store the leftover egg yolks, add 5 g sugar for each egg yolk, then freeze. By doing so, the quality of egg yolk stays the same. Thaw it in the fridge when you want to use it.
16

Important note: Always use granulated sugar. Caster sugar has high sugar content and moisture content, so it's not suitable for making macrons. Using caster sugar may cause a failure.

The special features of my macarons are the use of Swiss meringue, which is beaten over a hot water bath, and that I don't use powdered sugar.This is the flavored macaron version of"Powdered-Sugar-Free Macarons".-Swiss meringue, which is cooked over a hot water bath, has strong air bubbles, so it is less prone to failure.-According to the reports I get from people who have tried my "powdered-sugar-free" macaron recipes, the success rate is more than 90%. It's a recipe I'm very proud of. Recipe by C:Blue

As soon as I saw these two colors of dragées, I had an inspiraiton. My first inspiration was the colors of Snow Miku (winter-themed Hatsune Miku). Both Snow Miku and Frozen fit the image of these macarons perfectly.The oven temperature will vary depending on the season (and the room temperature).In the winter, start at 200°C and go to 130°C. In the summer, start at 180°C and go to 120°C. Observe the macarons and adjust. If the macarons get browned they'll no longer have a "snowy" image.If you are using powdered food coloring, dissolve it in a bit of water first. Recipe by RTP.

I prefer to make these myself at home and just play around with the flavors, as there's really nowhere to buy them where I live...not to mention they can be pricy when I do find them (anywhere from $2-$5 per cookie!) They can be finicky and they require patience. Once you master the basic recipe, you can make endless flavor variations. I'm by no means an expert, but this is the basic recipe that I use. To make them different colors, use 2-4 drops of gel food coloring and add it to the eggs once soft peaks have formed, then continue to whip them into stiff peaks. Keep in mind that they will turn out a shade or so lighter after baking than the batter is initially. You can also add up to 1/4 tsp. of a flavored extract at the same time as the food coloring.

This is my second attempt at making macarons.The egg whites can be mixed with just 25 grams of sugar as well (though it may be best not to use less than that)The amount of time needed to dry the macarons in Step 8 will depend on the humidity of your room.Batter that has food colouring added will lower the oven temperature. (To make sure that they don't burn, you can cover with aluminium foil halfway through) Recipe by ko-ko

Using the lemon macaron filling recipe from Pierre Herme's book "Macaron" as reference, I came up with a sweet and sour version using less sugar and lemon juice. Mr. Herme's "Macaron" book is an indispensable macaron bible!Use the freshest eggs you can find.While using the double boiler, be absolutely sure to keep mixing with the whisk. (Be careful not to let the egg turn into scrambled eggs.) It will take a while for it to get to a loose custard-like consistency. So, slowly mix well over low heat. Recipe by yukoz1

I love macarons and have tried a number of macaron recipes. These are handy for Valentine's Day etc.The main tip is to pre-freeze your egg whites. Also be careful to follow the instructions when performing the macaronage. Also be sure to properly dry the macarons. If it's difficult to make them all the same size, before squeezing out the dough, draw small 2.5 cm circles on the underside of the parchment paper to make it easier. Recipe by kaorun92

Using the recipe from Pierre Herme's book "Macaron" as a base, I added a few detailed steps so that no one will fail making this. This is a recipe which I made many times with many trials and errors, to make the ideal macaroon as imagined by Pierre Herme.●If you use fresh eggs, the shell might crack or will not have a "pied" or "foot", so make sure to use old eggs.●For making Italian meringue, the keys are the temperature of the syrup and when to add it to the egg white. When adding the syrup, add little at a time, but whip up quickly! The meringue will harden if you are too slow. For 12 pieces of 4 cm [1.6 in] macarons. Recipe by yukoz1

My daughter taught me how to make macarons. We both fell in love with these delicate cookies when we first traveled to Paris back in 2001. This recipe makes 15 macarons. Feel free to substitute out the matcha for any other dried flavor that you like (I've used freeze-dried raspberries, blue butterfly pea flowers, and plan to make some with French instant coffee).

I have uploaded articles about macarons on my blog so please visit if you like.http://s.ameblo.jp/kaorun0902/The key is to freeze the egg white. You may also need to adjust the pressure of the macaronage.Wait until the surface of the batter is completely dry before baking. If you have a difficult time piping into the same sizes, draw 2.5 cm circles on a sheet of paper and slide under the baking sheet! Recipe by kaorun92

I personally am not fond of desserts, but I've never failed when making this. I've given them as gifts, and they are really well received, so I've uploaded the recipe.25 g of granulated sugar in the egg white worked fine. (I think it's best not to reduce it further.) The time it takes for the macarons to dry out in Step 8 may vary depending on the day. If you make these macarons following the recipe, they won't get cracked on the surface or shrink inside.

There are so many different recipes for macarons. The way the texture feels and how the "foot" puffs out depends on the ratio of powdered sugar and granulated sugar. I have failed so many times at making these but have finally found a combination that works.By the way, I use a microwave oven.Don't lose heart even if you fail, you will absolutely someday find the combination, macaronage, and baking style that works for you! Don't give up!After baking for 3 minutes at 200°C, open the oven door to lower the temperature.When baking at 200°C, once the "foot" has puffed out, lower the temperature to 140°C.

Rich Bitter Chocolate Macarons

Using the recipe from Pierre Herme's book "Macaron" as a base, I increased the amount of cocoa mass to enrich the flavor. This recipe aims to create the ultimate moist and rich macaron without using cocoa powder.-If you use fresh egg whites, the macaron shells will crack and the "pied" or "foot" of the macaron will not form properly. You have to use old egg whites.-The success of Italian meringue depends on the temperature of the syrup and when you add the egg white. When you are adding the syrup, even though you are adding it bit by bit, do it quickly! If you do it too slowly, it will clump up. Recipe by yukoz1

My mom is allergic to nuts and almonds and have always wanted to try macarons. So after some experimenting I came up with this recipe, so that people with allergies still can enjoy this yummy little cookie. The filling can be whatever you like, but I went for a simple buttercream filling.
