Thanks so much Alyssa! I’m so glad you like it 🙂 For plain ones swap the 30g of cookie crumbs for more almond flour – so 130g of almond flour total.

I’ve tried so many different macaron recipes and this one is the best so far!!! It makes the perfect amount of cookies too. Can I just take out the 30g of crushed cookies to make them plain?

In reply to T. Hi T! No, macarons are very finicky so the recipe has to be precise for them to turn out properly. You can add a pinch of salt to help cut the sweetness.

Hi,

Is it possible to reduce the amount of powder sugar for the macaron shells to make it not too sweet? Like perhaps 60-70g?

In reply to Brityn. Caster sugar is ideal as it dissolves better/faster but granulated should work fine. It's what we used in pastry school.

In reply to Brityn. Hi Brityn! They will last for at least a week or so in the fridge or you can freeze them in something airtight for up to 3months.

Also, does granulated sugar work or does it need to be more fine than that?

I was just wondering how far ahead I could make these? I know it says make 2-3 days ahead…how long can they sit and still be good?
Thanks!
