Pastel French Macarons

4.2 from 650 cooks

Delicate almond meringue shells in soft pastel colors, sandwiched with buttercream and arranged in neat rows for gifting.

Macarons reward precision more than any other cookie, since the meringue has to be whipped, folded, and piped exactly right to get that smooth domed top and ruffled foot. Resting the piped shells before baking lets a light skin form, which is what keeps them from cracking in the oven. Let the finished shells sit filled overnight for the best texture.
