Holiday Macarons
If you're feeling posh this holiday, this fancy French cookie may as well have a gift tag with your name on it.
But before you can make your holiday macarons, you'll have to perfect your macaronage — the delicate batter that gives these cookies their chewy texture — and there's a science to it. Like, a real science. Yale's science magazine wrote a whole article on the chemistry that goes into this not-so-humble cookie.
But have no fear! Your holiday helper is here.
Our favorite confectionery expert, Jyoti Nanra, is sharing all her macaron-making expertise in her live holiday macaron tutorial. With Jyoti's techniques, you can make perfect macarons with shiny tops, crispy outsides, and chewy insides — no Yale degree required.
Add a bit of edible gold leaf to the top, and these elegant cookies will make beautiful holiday gifts. Plus, you'll save a bundle in your holiday budget when you make your macarons yourself.
These are one of the priciest cookies you can buy in stores. The average macaron costs between $2 and $4 (and the world's most expensive macaron is nearly $10,000!) — Jyoti's holiday macaron tutorial costs less than a dozen store-bought macarons. And since you can take the class once and make macarons forever, it truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
