Description
Delicious cookies and cream flavored macarons that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 3 large egg whites, room temperature
- pinch salt
- 4 oreo cookies, frosting removed and set aside
- 2 teaspoons chocolate extract
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 oreo cookies, frosting removed and set aside
- 8 cookies worth of frosting, from 4 cookies above and from 4 cookies in the macarons
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a standing mixer using a whisk attachment (or mixing bowl with a hand mixer), whip the egg whites and salt on high speed for about 2 minutes, until soft peaks form. Add in granulated sugar and chocolate extract and continue to beat for 1 minute until very stiff peaks form.
- In a small blender, pulse your oreo cookies until they form a fine powder. Sift the almond flour, powdered sugar, and powdered oreos into a medium bowl three times.
- Carefully pour the powdered sugar mixture on top of the whipped egg whites and fold gently until combined.
- Fit a large pastry bag with a 1/2 inch tip and pipe 1 1/4 inch circles onto parchment-lined cookie sheets. Allow to air dry for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Bake macarons for 17 minutes and let cool completely on their tray.
- Make the buttercream by beating the butter with oreo frosting and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add crushed oreos, powdered sugar, and whole milk, and beat until fluffy.
- Frost the cooled macarons and serve.
Notes
- Ensure your egg whites are at room temperature for the best results.
- Use a fine mesh strainer to get a smooth macaron batter.
- Allow the macarons to air dry before baking to develop a good shell.
