French Macarons

If you haven’t made your own French Macarons, no worries, I’ve got you covered! I crushed up the crunchy biscoff cookies into the macaron batter and used creamy Biscoff spread for the buttercream. Let’s just say this is one of my favorite Macarons yet! I won’t keep you waiting any longer, let’s take a look at the process.

Here’s what you’ll need to get started plus a food scale. It will be worth your investment, trust me 🙂

How to Make French Macarons

  1. Preheat oven to 280 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Weigh your egg whites, almond flour, powdered sugar, granulated sugar and ground Biscoff Cookies on your food scale.

  2. In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment add your weighed out egg whites, and sugar beating on medium speed. Beat on medium-high until stiff peaks form. Takes close to 5 minutes. See pictures for visuals. Set aside for a couple minutes.

  3. Place the powdered sugar, almond flour and cookies into a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Place in a sifter or fine sieve and sift until all dry ingredients have passed through.

  4. Gently fold in the egg whites to the dry ingredients, mixing only until just combined

  5. Place batter into a large pastry bag with a large round tip attached. Pipe rounds, about 1/2 inch apart onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Give a good tap or two of the pan to remove any bubbles.

  6. Bake macarons for 22-25 minutes. You’ll see a shell on top with “feet” around the edges. Let cool completely before removing. Once cooled, take an offset spatula to loosen from parchment. Pair the macarons close in size to each other to prepare for filling.

  7. To prepare buttercream, beat softened butter, creamy Biscoff Spread and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth. Place buttercream into a medium pastry bag with a large round tip attached and pipe a dollop of frosting on the center of a macaron and top with a second macaron. Serve room temperature. Store any remaining macarons in the refrigerator.

You can find these crunchy Biscoff cookies at most grocery stores. If you can’t find them you can always check Amazon.

Start by beating your egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form. It takes about 5 minutes depending on your mixer.

Pretty peaks.

Here you have your weighed out powdered sugar, crushed Biscoff Cookies, and almond meal/flour. This is one step you cannot short cut. Must be weighed.

You Must Weigh Your Ingredients For Macarons

I love putting my son to work, sifting those ingredients through a fine sieve. You can use a traditional hand crank sifter too. Why haven’t I bought one yet? Sheesh!

Homemade Macarons

Once your ingredients are sifted, gently fold in your egg whites.

Place the folded macaron batter into a piping bag or large Ziploc bag with a large round tip attached. Pipe your macaron batter right onto your parchment paper, like so.

What’s The Difference Between Macaron and Macaroon?

French macarons are sandwich cookies, like what we are making today. They consist of two halves of delicate, airy cookie with a layer of filling in between. Architecturally, they’re like brightly colored Oreos. Main ingredients for Macaron are:

  • Almond flour (i.e. finely ground almonds)
  • Sugar
  • Egg whites
  • Salt
  • Vanilla extract

Macaroons are a dense, dollop style coconut-flavored cookie, golden brown when baked. Main ingredients for Macaroons are:

  • Shredded coconut
  • Sweetened condensed milk
  • Egg whites
  • Salt
  • Vanilla extract

They’ll look a little something like this when they’re baked. Let them cool completely.

Make your Biscoff Buttercream to get ready for the filling. I am finding more and more grocery stores are carrying the Biscoff Spread. Thank heavens. It’s to die for.

    obviously like your web site but you have to check the spelling on quite a
    few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to tell
    the truth then again I will definitely come again again.

      How rude, Jaclyn. Your comment has several grammatical errors, too, which other people may find bothersome, but you feel the need berate her on spelling?

    An employee of mine’s birthday just came up and she LOVES Biscoff cookies. When I did a search of ways to bake with Biscoff this came up, and oh my goodness – these are amazing! I made three batches and a team of 20 devoured them. Thanks for sharing!

  3. Pretties and Pastries

    I was just thinking last week that I wanted to attempt a Biscoff buttercream recipe and here it is!! The fact that you put it in a macaron makes me want to give you a hug… and then steal one of these from you 😉 I think I will be poking around your site now to see what other goodies I can find.

    I made these macarons this past weekend, using the Trader Joe’s brand of Biscoff (Speculoos). Although the macarons didn’t turn out as well as I hoped, I love the way they taste! So yummy! Thanks for the great recipe… I am definitely going to try again.
