French Macarons French Macarons
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.

Salty Caramel Macarons Salty Caramel Macarons
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.

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).

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
