INGREDIENTS
COOKIES
  • 120 g egg whites room temperature
  • 130 g granulated sugar
  • 115 g almond flour
  • 40 g graham cracker crumbs
  • 110 g powdered sugar
  • brown color gel optional
GANACHE
  • 200 g milk chocolate
  • 100 g heavy whipping cream
MARSHMALLOW FLUFF
  • marshmallow fluff store bought or homemade (recipe linked below)
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Line baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment.*
  2. Place the almond powder, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs in a food processor. Process until just beginning to clump.
  3. Sift and discard any bits that won't pass through the sifter. Set aside.
  4. Whip the egg whites until they're the consistency of a loose foam. Continue whipping while slowly adding granulated sugar. Whip to a stiff meringue. Add brown color gel if desired and whip to incorporate.
  5. Fold the dry mixture into the meringue.**
  6. Pour the batter into a piping bag fitted with the 1A tip.
  7. Pipe the macarons onto your baking sheet. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs if desired.
  8. When all your macarons are piped, whack the baking sheet on the counter at least 3 times to get rid of any air bubbles.***
  9. Let the macarons dry at room temperature until dry to the touch. Approx 1 hour. DO NOT skip this step.
  10. Once dry, bake macarons in a 300°F oven until they stick a little bit to the pans. This can be anywhere from 10-20mins depending on your oven and how crowded the macarons are on the pan.
  11. While macarons are drying, make the ganache and mashmallow fluff.
  12. Let cookies cool completely before removing from pans.
MARSHMALLOW FLUFF
  1. Refer to this recipe. You can also use store-bought marshmallow fluff if you don't want to make your own.
GANACHE
  1. Chop the chocolate finely and place in a bowl. Heat the cream until boiling and pour over chopped chocolate. Do not stir! Cover bowl with plastic wrap for 2 mins. Stir to emulsify ganache. Place in fridge to set.****
ASSEMBLY
  1. Pipe ganache and marshmallow into the center, sandwich the cookies and twist together.
NOTES
*I create a parchment template using a 11/2" cookie cutter to create circles and place it under my silpat mat.
**You will need to do a LOT of folds to get the batter to the proper consistency. You're looking for it to be smooth and shiny and have some movement. If you lift some up with a spatula, it should pour in a steady stream and settle into the remaining batter. DO NOT overmix.
***Do not be shy with the whacking!
****If the ganache has some unmelted bits after stirring, heat over a simmering bain marie.
