Coffee Macarons Recipe

These Coffee Macarons are the ideal treat for coffee enthusiasts. The delicate almond cookie shell has an instant coffee flavor and is filled with a rich Coffee Buttercream Frosting.

Ingredients

1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
2 large egg whites
Add a pinch of salt
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp instant coffee
Coffee buttercream icing
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup almond flour

Time Needed

Prep Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
Two baking sheets should be lined with parchment paper.
Sift together the powdered sugar, almond flour, and instant coffee in a medium mixing bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy.
To the egg whites, add the granulated sugar, salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla extract.
Form stiff peaks with an electric mixer.
Fold in the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and glossy.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip with the batter.
Pipe small circles of batter onto the prepared baking sheets.
To remove any air bubbles, tap the baking sheets on the counter.
Allow the macarons to form a skin at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the macarons can be easily lifted from the parchment paper.
Allow the macarons to completely cool on the baking sheets.
Once the macarons have cooled, spread half of them with Coffee Buttercream Frosting.
To make a sandwich, place one frosted macaron on top of another.
Refrigerate the macarons in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
