Macaron Ingredients
95 grams egg whites (about 3 large eggs)
45 grams chocolate wafers, crushed
65 grams almond meal/flour (used Red Mill)
200 grams powdered sugar
25 grams granulated sugar
1. Preheat over to 280 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I printed this macaron template to use under my parchment paper as a guide. Just remember to remove the template before baking!
2. Weigh all of the above ingredients on a food scale.
3. Beat egg whites and granulated sugar in a stand mixer with whisk attachment on medium until stiff peaks form. (about 5 minutes) Set aside.
4. Mix almond flour, chocolate wafers, and powdered sugar together in a bowl. Sift until all dry ingredients have passed through. Gently fold in egg whites until combined.
5. Place batter in a large pastry bag, I used a large freezer bag, with large round tip attached. Pipe rounds on top of template.
**6. Give your baking sheet a good 3 hard taps on your counter top before putting macarons in the oven. This will get rid of any extra air in your batter and will prevent cracks from forming on the tops of your cookies.
7. Bake macaroons for 22-25 minutes. Mine were completed at 23 minutes. Macarons should have a shiny shell and "feet" around the edges. Let them cool completely before using a spatula to lift them away from the parchment paper. Pair "like" sized macarons together to fill.
Oreo Buttercream Filling
1 stick of softened butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 crushed Oreo cookies
1. Beat butter and powdered sugar together in stand mixer until creamy and smooth. Add crushed Oreos and beat until combined.
2. Place in another piping bag with large round tip attached.
3. Pipe a dollop of frosting on a macaron and top with the frosting center of an oreo with another dollop of frosting before topping the other macaron on top. (See picture.)
