Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 egg whites, room temperature
¼ cup sugar
1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
¾ cup superfine almond flour
¼ cup chocolate cookie, crushed
2 tablespoons dark cocoa powder
½ teaspoon black food coloring
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk
½ cup cookie and cream filling

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy.
  • Keep beating and slowly add sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Sift powdered sugar, cookie crumbs, almond flour, and cocoa powder over the egg whites.
  • Fold the dry mixture into the egg whites completely, but make sure to not overmix or the macarons will not rise.
  • Once the batter reaches a lava-like consistency, add the food coloring. Mix until just combined, without over mixing.
  • Preheat oven to 285ºF (140ºC).
  • Place the mixture into a piping bag or zip-top bag. Cut of the tip to pipe.
  • Pipe 1½-inch (4 cm) dollops onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Tip: take a little batter to "glue" down the edges of the parchment paper so it stays put.
  • Let the cookies rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour, until they are no longer wet to the touch and a skin forms on top.
  • While resting, make the filling by mixing the butter, powdered sugar, cookie cream filling, vanilla, and milk in a bowl until smooth.
  • Transfer to a piping bag and set aside until ready to fill.
  • When the cookies are dry to the touch, bake for 15-18 minutes until they have risen.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before filling.
  • To fill, pipe about about a tablespoon of the buttercream onto one macaron and place another on top.
  • Macarons are best kept refrigerated until serving.
  • Enjoy!
