My best customer is from Ohio and his family always is promoting me to his friends and neighbors. So as a thank you I made him Buckeye Macarons. I tried one tonight, they are so incredibly good. Filling is a whipped chocolate ganache with a whipped peanut butter ganache in the middle.

Before pulling your macs out of the oven, do the jiggle test. Which is wiggling them a little to see if there’s any jiggle

I do french method macarons. When figuring out how stiff the meringue should be, there are a couple visual cues to look for. Red arrow is pointing to the sharp edges you should see in a stiff peak meringue. The blue arrow is pointing to the waves in the whisk you should see. Although we think stiff peak means really well done, there should still be a softness in the visual. If it’s all sharp edges that’s over whipped meringue. A solid meringue will lead to great cookies.
