Macarons 
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Beat the egg whites until foamy, then add half the sugar. When the egg whites start to stiffen, add the remaining sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- 2
Blend the almond flour and powdered sugar together until well combined.
- 3
Gently fold the almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the meringue. Continue folding until the batter is smooth and flows slowly off the spatula (macaronage).
- 4
Pipe the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, holding the piping tip close to the surface. Stop squeezing when you reach the desired size. Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to form a skin.
- 5
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on your oven. Let the macarons cool on a perforated baking sheet for 30 minutes. Then fill with passion fruit cream (see previous recipe). For best flavor, enjoy the macarons the next day!

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.

Frozen Macarons Frozen Macarons
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.

Matcha Macarons Matcha Macarons
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).
