These Salted Caramel Macarons combine the classic delicate French cookie with a sweet homemade caramel buttercream. Top everything with a sprinkle of fleur de sel salt for that perfect finish.
Are 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. Do not substitute for other flours.
Macarons can be temperamental. This cookie recipe is tried and tested over and over to give you an almost fool proof cookie.
