The best French Macarons



French Macarons are a small bite sized cookie. They 1st have a crunch in your mouth then leading into a light soft texture as you bite into the filling. This cookie can be filled with jam, ganache, or buttercreams. In this episode I have dyed the macaroons fun colors and added strawberry buttercream in the center. Let me tell you everyone will be gloating over these little cookies!

  7. YAY! After studying your youtube video and the blog, I decided I was up to the challenge of baking the French Macaroons. I thought i had failed at first because my "stiff peaks" turned into a gluey mixture but I just went with it and they turned out pretty decently.I used a buttercream icing i tried to make for the middles but I think i might try something fancier next time.

  22. Hi. Want to ask you somethings. My oven is a small oven and the maximum temperature is just 250c. So I need to preheat it on how many degree celcius and heat around how many minutes? And the heat position is on the top,bottom or middle? Thanks. And lastly, I love your videos so much.
