Halloween Mummy French Macarons Recipe

Ingredients:

Macaron Shells:

• 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/8 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
•  Egg whites from 2 eggs at room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla (optional), or you can use your favorite flavor extract
• 1/4 tsp salt

Maple Cinnamon Filling:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• A pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for the super cute mummy effect)

Equipment:

• Stand mixer with a whisk attachment
• Piping bag fitted with a round tip
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
• Mixing bowls
• Spatula
• Oven thermometer (optional but recommended)

Instructions:

Macaron Recipe:

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. 
2. Sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar in a large bowl and set aside. Ensure to sieve and sift them together.
3. Start by beating the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat until the egg whites are light and fluffy and form stiff peaks.
4. Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites in the bowl from the mixer stand and mix on medium speed until you get a soft peak consistency to result in the best texture. Add the vanilla at this step if applicable.
5. After the egg whites are the right consistency, gently fold 1/3 of the rest of the dry ingredients (almond flour and powdered sugar) into the egg whites and fold in using a folding technique. The folding technique is to cut the mixture with a spatula in the middle of the bowl and flip the batter. The batter should be thick and glossy.
6. Add the remaining dry mixture to the meringue and fold in until there are no dry spots. Begin to check for the “ribbon” stage, where the batter falls off in ribbons, and you can use a spatula and draw a figure 8 without the batter clumping or breaking off. Once you get to this consistency stop folding.

Assembling and Baking the Shells:

1. Allow the macarons to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This step helps the macarons develop a smooth surface.
2. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe mummy-shaped macarons onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all the batter is in the bag!
3. Hold the piping bag and pipe 1 completely vertical when piping and then lift it straight up. Make about 1 1/2 to 2-inch circles.
4. After you have piped all the batter, bang the baking sheet on the counter 10-20 times to rid all air bubbles. Use a toothpick to pop them. Make sure you are deflating them!
5. Bake the macarons in a preheated oven until they have set and have developed feet. This should take about 10-15 minutes, or until they are lightly browned. When you touch the top of the macaron it should not wiggle around on the “feet”.
6. Allow them to cool entirely before removing them from the baking sheet.

Maple Cinnamon Filling Recipe:

1. Cream the butter and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer. 
2. Add in the maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt and mix until just combined.
3. Add in the powdered sugar slowly with the mixer on a low speed, then increase the speed to medium-high and mix until completely combined. Make sure the powdered sugar is well incorporated before adding the next increased speed. 
4. Mix until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble Your Mummy Macarons:

Now, let’s bring the mummy macarons to life!

1. Pair up the macaron shells that are similar in size and shape.
2. Take place the macarons shell and gently pipe a small amount of the maple filling into the center of one macaron.
3. Place the second shell on top and gently press to allow the filling to spread to the edges. Be sure to smush the filling outward slightly to resemble the bandages of a mummy.
4. Microwave the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each increment, until they completely melt.
5. Using a spoon, scoop some of the melted chocolate mixture and drizzle it on the top of the macaron pair in large strings, approximately 8-10 times per cookie. Be sure to leave a little space for its eyes!
6. Dip the back of each candy eyeball in the white chocolate and place two on each macaron top. Or, use a black edible drawing pen to draw eyes on!
7. Repeat this process for all your macaron pairs.
8. Allow your mummy macaron creations to chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is hardened and set.
9. Keep the macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours to allow them to “mature”. Enjoy after!
