S'more Macarons

Show of hands, who has made French macarons at home?? I used to be so intimidated. The roomer is that they can be a challenge, but it turns out they just need a little extra love!

I have worked hard to perfect my recipe and have quickly adapted it to incorporate some of my favorite flavors, like S’MORES! Don’t be afraid to try this French Macaron Recipe!

Recipe Features:

  • Gluten Free: Always be sure to triple check the ingredients to verify they do not contain gluten.
  • Fun Camping Flavor: Chocolate and marshmallow perfection.
  • Intermediate Recipe: Don’t give up if you can’t replicate those little cookie feet. Try again! You’ve got this!
Chocolate Ganache Ingredients

What You’ll Need:

The list is surprisingly simple. Most of the ingredients for homemade macarons are already in your refrigerator or pantry!

  • Egg whites
  • Granulated sugar
  • Powdered sugar
  • Almond flour
  • Salt

That list is specifically for the cookies. You will need additional items for the frosting or fillings. For this recipe I made a simple chocolate ganache and marshmallow frosting. The frosting is one of my all-time favorites. We make it for EVERYTHING.

See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and their measurements.

Smore French Macarons

Step by Step Instructions:

  1. Start by shifting the powdered sugar and almond flour together. I do this twice to make sure all of the large almond chunks are removed.
  2. Whisk your egg whites until foamy. Add the salt and 1/4 cup sugar. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  3. Fold your flour mixture into your eggs, turning 65 times. Make sure you do this by hand to avoid over mixing.
  4. Place your batter into piping bags and pipe 1 inch rounds onto two parchment lined baking trays. Tap each tray 4-5 times onto the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  5. Allow the cookies to sit for at least 30 minutes.6. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and bake exactly 20 minutes. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
How to make Macarons

Tips and FAQs:

Tips for making French macarons at home:

  1. Use a macaron mat (affiliate) like this one here. (affiliate) It will help keep your cookies uniform in size.
  2. Shift all of your ingredients. Remove any large pieces of the almond meal/flour.
  3. Buy a round pipping tip (affiliate) and pipping bags.
  4. Use food color PASTE  (affiliate) if you are going to color your cookies.
  5. Use a flexible spatula (affiliate) to fold the batter

Are French macarons really that hard to make?

Yes and no. Macarons are notoriously known for being delicate and finicky. I have made 5 batches in a row that turn out gorgeous and 5 batches that were a complete waste. Getting the right consistency in your batter is an art form. After lots of practice I can confidently say that more times than not mine form perfectly. It takes patience. If I rush through the recipe I will fail. So take your time and practice, practice, practice!

Can you use regular flour to make macarons?

The short answer is no. The base of these cookies is the almond flour. It provides the flavor, texture, and beautiful feet that macarons are known for. All-purpose flour will give you an almond cookie with a dense and crunchy texture.
