OREO MACARONS


Oreo Macarons! Transform your most loved locally acquired works of art into something increasingly wanton with these fragile Oreo macarons.

So there I was, psyching myself up for another go at macarons. I required some psyching up, trust me. Macarons really set aside next to no opportunity to make, however they are SO precarious to get flawless, and it's not just about the collapsing system (which is urgent). Everything was going so well. Whites prepared, hitter the correct consistency, channeled out impeccably, and even dried out legitimately before heating. These would have been impeccable. Hah.

I was keeping a close eye on that little stove window. Gracious! I can see feet! No splits, woohoo! Be that as it may, at that point they continued rising and the feet got excessively tall, and I realized the damn things would be empty. Beyond any doubt enough, they were. Numerous swearwords were tossed around.



INGREDIENTS
Macaron Shells:
  • 100 g almond flour
  • 30 g Oreo cookie crumbs approx. 4 cookies with filling removed
  • 130 g powdered sugar
  • 100 g egg whites room temperature
  • 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
  • 90 g caster sugar or other superfine sugar

Oreo Buttercream:
  • Filling from 12 Double Stuffed Oreos
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Oreos crushed, approx. 2 cookies with filling removed

INSTRUCTIONS
Macaron Shells:
  1. Line baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment.*
  2. Place the almond flour, powdered sugar, and Oreo cookie crumbs in a food processor. Process until just beginning to clump. Sift and discard any bits that won't pass through the sifter. Set aside.
  3. Whip the egg whites until they're the consistency of a loose foam, add in cream of tartar. Continue whipping while slowly adding caster sugar. Whip to a stiff meringue.
  4. Fold the dry mixture into the meringue.**
  5. Pour the batter into a piping bag fitted with the 1A tip.
  6. Pipe the macarons onto your baking sheet. Sprinkle with Oreo cookie crumbs if desired.
  7. When all your macarons are piped, whack the baking sheet on the counter at least 3 times to get rid of any air bubbles.***
  8. Let the macarons dry at room temperature until dry to the touch. Approx 1 hour. DO NOT skip this step.
  9. Once dry, bake macarons in a preheated 300°F oven until they stick just slightly to the pans. This can be anywhere from 10-20mins depending on your oven and how crowded the macarons are on the pan.
  10. Let cookies cool completely before removing from pans.

Oreo Buttercream:
  1. Cream Oreo filling and butter until smooth, pale, and fluffy. Add in powdered sugar and Oreo cookie crumbs and mix until well combined.

Assembly:
  1. Pair macaron shells up by size, pipe buttercream into the center, sandwich the cookies, and twist together.
  2. Allow macarons to mature at least 24 hours in the fridge. They are best 2-3 days after making them.
