Thank you for making all the mistakes for us, so we don't have to!!! I know we all are scared to experiment because of the effort and time that goes into these... so you are truly an angel for taking the time to do so!!!! 🤓❤💕
Thank you Nicole! I have done this in the past and I was devastated! instead of throwing them away though, I crumbled up the shells and turned them into sprinkles
Oh the macawrongs lol. I crush them & put on icecream, very yummy. I also made a piecrust w/them which was tasty. I LOVE your sprinkles idea! Brilliant! Wouldn't have ever dreamed that up! 👏🥰
I'm new at this and still working to get it consistently right. It looks like I tend to overmix and get the soft bottoms with easily cracked tops. Since I'm not to the point of sharing outside of the house, I just fill 'em and eat 'em. Imperfect still tastes pretty good!
@@baketoujours finally a shell that’s full and sturdy the only thing that my ocd is bothering me about is the feet are fairly short I tried baking at 280 290 and 300 what could be causing this?
Hi Nicole! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the video on the use of the potato protein to make our macarons! You have been my go-to person on how to make egg white macarons so I believe in you! With your guidance, I was able to successfully make macarons with good results and macarons were my dessert of choice when I wanted to bring something to family gatherings, baby showers, etc. However, I went whole food, plant based two years ago and have been looking to replace the egg whites with a vegan alternative. I always loved eating my macarons too so I miss them. I tried the aquafaba and also had a problem with them being lopsided and the taste was not quite there. I used to have so much fun being challenged by these cookies so I’m super excited to try this new method. Thanks for all the helpful hints too. Can’t wait to try them out!
Thanks so much for doing this video! I was really surprised by what a difference that made in the final result. I'm definitely overmixing but didn't realize it 😅
Thank you so much for this! I all of a sudden started getting gracile shells in the last two days and this video was a great timing for me because I was starting to give up
Yes what cookie nibz said. Amazon has the tfal baking trays and the circle mat by Velesco! You can check out www.amazon.com/shop/baketoujours and I have them listed on my site!
Thank you for this video. now I know I have over mixed my batter. I thought it's was perfect. My macaron is always hollow . Now I know why. The visual really helps
In the summer when my humidity reached 90% it just happened that I was out of granulated sugar, so I tried powdered sugar, worked wonderfully. Since powdered sugar (In the US anyways) contains cornstarch I did decrease the amount of eggwhite powder to offset it.
Do you have any suggestions for baking Macarons at high altitudes ? Just moved to CO and trying to develop recipes that could work but nothing seems to work. Have been experimenting for almost 10 batches.
Oh I wish I did! I’ve talked with other bakers who live at high altitudes and their methods varied so I don’t really have any great insight. One baker baked at higher temps and other at lower temps and longer. Wish I could help more!
What causes a wrinkly top? I've researched on the internet and found advice for both too high of an oven AND too low of an oven. I am so confused. So which is it?
Why do you think I’m getting lopsided macarons with a smaller batch. Not all are lopsided but most are and have bulge feet too. Please help. I have made bigger successful batches in the same oven with no lopsided ones at all.
omg- i think ive been overmixing this whole time, thinking it was the right consistency... ill try mixing it less to see if this helps! thank you for the video!!
Ok so I rewatched this tutorial again for the oh 6th time, and I think I over mixed my batter causing my macaron tops to come off or seperfrom the bottoms.
I dont see why the “over mixed” batter is being sort of demonized. It actually looks good and very smooth. But then just to prove that it was the bad batch, she kept destroying the top. Bottomline: this is NOT the best demonstration of right vs over mixed batter.
I agree! I made them for the first time yesterday and realized I had over mixed them, but I never liked macarons in the past due to them not having a crunch. I prefer the crunch from over mixing haha. I'm about to make another batch right now actually; will try not to over mix this time.
Thank you for making all the mistakes for us, so we don't have to!!! I know we all are scared to experiment because of the effort and time that goes into these... so you are truly an angel for taking the time to do so!!!! 🤓❤💕
I’m so happy to do it! I hope it helps those struggling to nail these finicky cookies!

I made your no rest method yesterday and they came out wonderful I had doubts because I live in humid Florida but I’m truly a believer now! Thanks!
Yahoooo!!! So happy! I can’t thank Teyanna enough from WhiskATX for encouraging me to try no rest! I too was apprehensive!

You are the best macaron teacher nicole, thanks a lot 😀
Very helpful! Thank you
Where can I purchase the silicone mat with the circles and the baking tray?
Amazon has them for a great price. Even comes with piping tips & 2 washable piping bags.

So happy to help!!
Thank you so much, very helpful!!
Where did you get that spatula? I been looking for a big one like that.
You explained the difference perfectly
Love it ❤️ thank u for all ur efforts didn't expect this video so quick.. ur amazing.. can u put powdered sugar in the meringue?
I had to make up for the months it took me to make the last one. Haha
In the summer when my humidity reached 90% it just happened that I was out of granulated sugar, so I tried powdered sugar, worked wonderfully. Since powdered sugar (In the US anyways) contains cornstarch I did decrease the amount of eggwhite powder to offset it.
@@cookienibz2578 oh that's amazing thank u for the info.. Will give it a try 👍
@@cookienibz2578 can u tell me the brand of powdered sugar?
@@Afy.B I use Domino 10X. If you can't find it, I have also used store brand with no noticeable difference. 🙂.

Usually it’s more to do with over mixing your batter or too low of an oven temp
I wonder if I'm using cheap ingredients. My batter always feels tough like playdoh everytime I make them😟😟😟🥺

Tq nicole
I was taught to put the macaroons aside till a skin forms on top befor baking it. Sometimes it takes a hour…
omg- i think ive been overmixing this whole time, thinking it was the right consistency... ill try mixing it less to see if this helps! thank you for the video!!
THEY CAME OUT NOT-HOLLOW,,, THANK YOU!!!
Ok so I rewatched this tutorial again for the oh 6th time, and I think I over mixed my batter causing my macaron tops to come off or seperfrom the bottoms.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think my recipe was just wrong bc it called for 1 cup almond flour, 1.75 cups powdered sugar and 3 egg whites
I had no idea that I was over mixing thank you so much, now I know why my macaroons stick tho I bake them more than enough very appreciated ❤️
