Tips

  • Make sure your measurements are precise.
  • Ensure the meringue is whipped to stiff peaks.
  • When folding the macaron batter, the texture should fall off the spatula like a ribbon.
  • Allow the cookies to dry on the sheet for 30 minutes before baking to ensure the feet form.
  • Leave the oven alone while baking.
