* I create a parchment template using a 1 1/2″ cookie cutter to create circles and place it under my silpat mat. ** You will need to do a LOT of folds to get the batter to the proper consistency. You’re looking for it to be smooth and shiny and have some movement. If you lift some up with a spatula, it should pour in a steady stream and settle into the remaining batter. DO NOT overmix. *** Do not be shy with the whacking! **** If the ganache has some unmelted bits after stirring, heat over a simmering bain marie.

i think these macarons are the best !
I’ve tried your other macaron recipes and they’ve worked out really well but for some reason this chocolate macaron recipe didn’t work for me. I didn’t get that many and the measurements felt off. I noticed that this one also has half the egg whites as the coffee and baileys one. Is there a reason for that?
Love your recipes! I made these-my first ever attempt at macarons- and they came out perfectly! Thank you for such an easy to follow recipe! I didn’t have any cream so instead of ganache I filled them with your fresh strawberry SMB. They look divine, wish I could post a pic! haven’t got to the taste test yet, my hubby will be my guisea pig after dinner, but I’m sure they will be delicious!
First time making macarons and these came out fantastic! A few lopsided shells from my piping, but they all had feet and no hollow shells. And the couple I snuck before filling and refrigerating tasted great too 😋
Seriously the BEST macaron recipe I've used! So many other recipes call for cream of tartar to help along the egg whites but you truly don't need it. Thank you for the recipe! Do you have any suggestions for just a plain macaron shell without the cocoa powder? Should we just opt the 8g of cocoa powder and sub an extra 4g powder sugar and 4g almond flour?

This has been my go-to recipe for chocolate Macarons for the past year, they always turn out amazing! Thanks so much for sharing and for all of your tips!!!
Can I use regular coco powder instead of dutch processed?
I made these twice, the first time I over cooked them but the second time I baked them for 14 minutes and OMG.... Amazing! They taste better after 24 hours. Light crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside and not too sweet. Aside from the recipe, I highly recommend watching videos on how macaroons are made.
