Best Peanut Macaroons Recipes

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BURGERS (FRENCH MACAROONS)

Steps:

• Make the Macaroons: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Line several sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside. In a bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of the sugar, almonds, and cocoa powder.
• In another clean dry bowl whip the egg whites with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar until medium peaks form (do not beat to stiff peaks). Fold egg whites into dry ingredients to a make a meringue. Fill the pastry bag with the meringue. (To easily fill the pastry bag, place it (with a clothespin holding it shut at the bottom) in a tall round container such as a coffee can, mayonnaise jar, or vase, folding the edge over the rim of the container.)
• Pipe rows of kisses 1-inch in diameter (about the size of a quarter), keeping them 1/2 inch apart, onto the sheet pans. Bake until very light brown, rotating the pans after 8 minutes, about 17 minutes. Let the macaroons cool on the pan.
• Meanwhile, make the Peanut Butter Buttercream: In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter and whip. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and whip until fluffy. Transfer the buttercream to a clean pastry bag fitted with a round tip.
• Peel 2 macaroons off the parchment, pipe the buttercream on 1 flat side and sandwich the other flat-side down on top. Repeat with the remaining macaroons. Keep chilled in an airtight container until ready to serve.

PEANUT-FREE CHOCOLATE MACAROONS

Steps:

• Line a work surface with waxed paper.
• Stir oats, cocoa powder, and coconut together in a large bowl.
• Whisk sugar, milk, and butter together in a nonstick pot; bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir vanilla extract into butter mixture.
• Stir oat mixture into butter mixture until well-combined. Drop mixture by the spoonful onto waxed paper and let sit until set, at least 15 minutes.

MACAROONS CON PEANUT BUTTER

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the sugar and corn syrup to a boil, and let cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter. Mix in the cornflakes and if desired, sesame seeds. Drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper and let cool until set.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Place the cake mix, water, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl; mix in your electric mixer on low speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Stop and scrape down sides of the bowl. Increase speed to medium and beat for one more minute. Add your peanut butter and cocoa powder and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Fold in the coconut. Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the macaroons until they are set and just browned lightly on the edges--about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and slide the parchment paper with macaroons on top onto a wire rack to cool for five minutes. Using a small metal spatula, remove the macaroons from the paper. You can re-use the parchment paper if you still have any dough left over as the macaroons will come off quite cleanly. If desired, once cooled, turn over frost the bottom (flat side) of half of the macaroons and sandwich together with a second one. I used the leftover frosting from this recipe, and man, was it good.

PEANUT MACAROONS

Steps:

• Brown the peanuts under the broiler. Crush them.
• Beat the egg white a pinch of salt until very foamy.
• Add the sugar slowly and beat until stiff peaks form when the beater in lifted from the bowl.
• Then add the peanuts.
• Put the wax paper on a baking sheet. Grease it a little. Put small mounds of mixture on the paper. Bake at low heat 250 until the macaroons are golden.

COCONUT PEANUT MACAROONS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. Whisk egg whites with sugar, vanilla and salt until well combined. Stir in coconut and peanuts. 3. Using 2 dessert spoons (as mixture is sticky), gather a heaping tablespoon (about 22 mL) of the mixture. Place on baking sheet and form into a tight mound. Repeat with remaining mixture, stirring mixture in bowl occasionally. Set macaroons about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on baking sheet. 4. Bake 1 sheet at time until tops of cookies are golden brown, about 13 to 15 minutes. If macaroons aren't perfectly shaped, edges can be trimmed with scissors, if desired. 5. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes on baking sheet. Then remove to a rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
