Lavender and Chocolate Macarons Recipe

The classic flavors of chocolate and lavender combine in these delicate macarons for a unique and delicious treat. The rich chocolate shell is balanced by the delicate floral notes of lavender, resulting in a perfect flavor balance.

Ingredients

2 tbsp cocoa powder
food coloring in purple
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup almond flour
2 large egg whites, room temp
1/4 tsp lavender extract
1 cup powdered sugar

Time Needed

Prep Time: 40 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes

Instructions

Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
Sift the powdered sugar, almond flour, and cocoa powder together.
Separately, whisk the egg whites until foamy.
Gradually beat in the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined with the egg white mixture.
Fold in the lavender extract and a few drops of purple food coloring until evenly distributed.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip with the batter.
Pipe small circles onto the baking sheet that has been prepared.
To release any air bubbles, tap the baking sheet on a flat surface.
Allow the macarons to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature to form a skin.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the macarons are set but not browned.
Allow the macarons to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them.
