Wowed my mom’s group! Seemed so fancy! Mine were also somewhat different sizes. I just picked through to pair up the ones that were similar, and once they had the chocolate in them, the size difference was not so noticeable, as long as the mate matched! I told one woman they were macarons after she had eaten one, and she asked what those other cookies were that she buys at the grocery store in those packages. . . I said, “. . .bad macaroons. . .?”

One thing that you can do, but it is a bit more work, is draw the size of the circle you are shooting for. Trace something the right size and then practice piping it just to that size. In the end, it is just a matter of practice and getting the feel for when to squeeze the bag, and when to release the pressure. Maybe practicing with mayo will give you the practice, but you won’t want to eat them! ;) This is what we did in culinary school.

Cheers, Zoë

Any tips on how to get uniform size? Practice I’m sure …but I might just get big as a house practicing so any tips will be sooooo appreciated.
Thanks,
Janet

I was wondering if the macarons can be made 1 day ahead of time. I want to make a large batch for a party and would like to know what is the best way to store it. I am concern the cookies may get stale or chewy. thanks!

Thanks so much.

The resting seems to really help the shape of the macarons.

Enjoy, Zoë

My recipe left out the direction for resting them for 30 minutes. They didn’t rise, but that didn’t stop me from eating a whole tray. Macaron’s are addicting!

I really should get a move on and actually make these. Yours look beautiful, the mint and chocolate colours go nicely together, they must taste great as well.
