This is my first time making macarons, the shape came out perfect and I got the nice little “feet”, none of them cracked or anything. But then when I went to remove them from my parchment paper about a third of them would stick, and some of the inside of the cookie was torn off. The texture of my cookie is chewy…I don’t think they are supposed to be chewy? I baked at 300 for 12 minutes, and turned the pan halfway, and that was too long because they browned 🙁 I checked them at 11 minutes and they looked perfect…and then at 12 boom! And they Browned and lost their color! But do you think I need to cook at a lower temp maybe? I don’t know why they are chewy inside…I could not find almond flour so I used trader joes almond meal-it’s pretty fine…please let me know what you think! Thank you
Now I’m off to find a perfect filling for these (I don’t like buttercream and my hubby and kids don’t either). Any suggestions? Thanks!- Reply

Hi there! 🙂 I had the same problems the first time around! They looked perfect but wouldn’t come off. I found out that they are actually underbaked at that point. Each oven bakes differently. Try adjusting your oven temperature down to 280 or even 275. They will bake longer but they will be baked through and not browned. Hope that helps! 🙂

Thanks for a great recipe. Mine stuck too, but the longer I let them sit easy to remove. These are good the 1st day but fabulous the 2nd day!
Does the recipe double using exactly double proportions?

Yes, you can double the recipe by doubling the measurements! 🙂 I’m glad they turned out for you!

Did you add food coloring to get that pink color? or did they get that color from the dried raspberries?
- Reply
- tkorchemnaya
Yes, I did add red food coloring! The best kind for this recipe is the thicker gel type

At what point do you add the gel food colouring , and how much ?
- Reply
- tkorchemnaya
You can add the food coloring when you’re mixing in the egg whites or directly into the mixing bowl when you’re mixing them. Food coloring vary in concentration so add a little at a time until it’s reached a nice, deep color

can I put less sugar? would it affect the results because I know that macarons ingredients are strictly measured
- tkorchemnaya
I’m not sure how the recipe would be affected. The ingredients do have to be measured precisely…

what are all the measurements in cups?
- Reply
- tkorchemnaya
I use standard American measuring cups for all of my recipes. IF you need to convert the cups to grams, I recommend using Google 🙂

Dear Tatyana! I love your website,all the recipes,that I always wanted , are here. The macaroons are my kids favorite, that was my second time making them. These macaroons end up to be very delicious, but I had to face the challenge again to separate them from the baking paper,some of them fell apart. Any advice? Thank you!

I’m glad you enjoyed them! If the macarons are sticking to the paper, it usually means that they are under-baked. Try turning down your oven temperature by 10 degrees and baking them a bit longer. When they are baked properly, they should come right off the paper. I had the same problem when I first started making them, too! 🙂

Confectioner’s sugar, about 5 cups – 5cups????? 5x250ml???

- tatyanaseverydayfood
Sorry, mistake on my part! It’s about 2 cups but you can use less. Add the sugar until the buttercream reaches a consistency and flavor that you like

Every time I try to make macarons with fruit powder I have an issue. First it was they “melted” into one big mess that peeled up like a fruit rollup. Last night I tried your version and they cracked. Any suggestions?
- Reply
- tatyanaseverydayfood
Hi Nicole! I’m so sorry that your macarons didn’t turn out! If they spread too much/too flat, that means the batter is over-mixed. Same with the cracks, could be from over-mixing and also not resting them long enough. I rest mine for 1 hour, but if you live a high-humidity climate, this can take a lot longer…

For the filling you have cognac, but not the amount. How much do I use?
- Reply
- tatyanaseverydayfood
Hmm, I didn’t add cognac. I added a few tablespoons of lemon juice and lemon zest

If your cookies stick to the parchment, wet a towel with hot water and ring out. Place parchment directly on towel for four minutes and cookies should come off intact. Credit to my wonderful sister-in-law Lola for the fix.

Hi Tatyana,
I’m thinking of doing these, but also adding a little bit of lemon curd to the center of each macaron, and then surrounding the curd with the lemon buttercream. Do you think this is okay? or do you think it will be too much lemon flavor?

Hi Drew! That would be a great idea! I think it would taste phenomenal 🙂

Hi Tatyana! I wanted to make these tonight and was wondering when you added in the food coloring? Was it gel coloring or another type and what color?
- Reply
- tatyanaseverydayfood
Hi Ella! These are one of my favorites; always come back to this recipe. I usually add concentrated gel food coloring into the egg whites when they’re done mixing. I add then mix for a few seconds. You can also use powder color or add the food coloring directly into the batter as you start mixing it.

Thank you! I made these yesterday and i got the feet and my buttercream turned out great. A couple things though, the macarons did stick to the baking sheet even after i cooled them(i had to pry them of the sheet with a spatula) Also, the color of the macarons did brown a little bit in the oven. One more thing, they turned out somewhat hollow. After they cooled, i touched the top of one and it cracked. Any suggestions? They tasted great with the buttercream though. I will for sure come back to this recipe, i think i just need a bit more practice. Thanks for sharing the recipe! (also sorry for the long note)

First time attempting macarons here. I don’t know how I did it but the batter managed to be too thick and too thin simultaneously. It didn’t ribbon because it was too thick but they spread out too much like it was too thin.

Oh, no! 🙁 Macarons are always a little tricky – I had to try 3 or 4 times before mine worked for the first time. Did you use a scale for your measurements? That’s the best way to make sure that everything is right. It might be the egg whites – maybe not whisked enough? Hope your next batch turns out! 🙂

HI
Can I please know how to measure 100g egg whites ? instead of ml
or how many eggs of egg whites for this recipeThank you
Dimu- Reply
- tatyanaseverydayfood
Hi Dimu! I recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh out the egg whites. 100g is approximately 3 large egg whites. Hope that helps! Enjoy! 🙂

Hi, what diameter are the macaroons you made? Just curious. I want to bake some for the first time using your recipe.

Hi! I usually make mine about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Not too big and not super small. Enjoy!

Hi Lesley. All my recipes are based on a conventional oven. In the US, we have both but I use the regular setting. Enjoy!

Hi, I’d love to make this but I couldn’t find freeze dried raspberris anywhere. Can I make it without them and add raspberry jam in the middle of the filling?
- Reply
- tatyanaseverydayfood
Hi! Oh, no – have you tried Amazon or online? Yes, you can make these without the freeze-dried raspberries. The raspberry jam will be a great addition. Enjoy!
