My favorite cookie to make is the French Macaron. It's chic and delicious. Many people have been asking for the recipe, so I thought I should make a video to help. Oh, and here's the recipe:
Macaron Ingredients
180g ground almonds, sifted
270g powdered sugar, sifted
150g egg whites, aged 2 to 4 days in the fridge and then brought to room temperature
100g granulated sugar
pink food coloring (optional)
Strawberry Filling Ingredients
2 egg whites
pinch of cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup cream cheese, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 heaping tablespoons reduced- sugar strawberry preserves
red coloring (optional)
Additional equipment: stand mixer, four heavy sheet pans, good quality parchment paper, double-boiler and pastry bags
