Ingredients
Scale
For Macaron Cookies:
- 120 g egg whites (room temperature)
- 130 g granulated sugar
- 115 g almond flour
- 40 g graham cracker crumbs (finely sifted)
- 110 g powdered sugar
- brown gel food color (optional)
For Chocolate Ganache:
- 200 g milk chocolate
- 100 g heavy whipping cream
For Marshmallow Fluff:
- Marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- S’mores Macaron Cookies – Line baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
- Process almond flour, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs in a food processor until it begins to clump. Sift and re-process any bits that won’t pass through the sifter.
- Whip the egg whites until the consistency is a loose foam. Continue to beat the egg whites slowly while adding the granulated sugar and whip to a stiff meringue. Add a small amount of brown color gel (optional) and blend to incorporate.
- Fold the dry mixture into the meringue until you reach a smooth, shiny consistency.
- Pour the batter into a piping bag (or gallon size zipper baggie) with a 1A piping tip. Pipe the macarons onto your baking sheet creating 1-½ inch circles.
- Whack the baking sheet on the counter to eliminate air bubbles (see notes in the post).
- Let the macarons dry at room temperature until dry to the touch (about one hour). While the macarons dry, make the ganache and marshmallow fluff.
- Heat oven to 300°F. Bake macarons for 15-17 minutes. Let cookies cool completely before removing from the pan.
- Chocolate Ganache – Chop the chocolate finely and place in a bowl. Heat the cream until boiling and pour over the finely chopped chocolate (do NOT stir just yet). Cover bowl with plastic wrap for 2 minutes. Stir to combine and store in the fridge to set.
- Marshmallow Fluff – You can use store-bought marshmallow fluff OR follow this homemade recipe.
- To Assemble the Macarons – Pipe a thin layer of ganache followed by a thin layer of marshmallow fluff into the center of one cookie. Top with a second cookie to create a sandwich and twist together.
Notes
- Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for best results.
- Macarons are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Experiment with different food colorings for varied macaron looks.
