Q: Why did you pronounce it ma-kuh-ROON rather than ma-ku-ROHN? Isn't a ma-kuh-ROON a different cookie made out of coconut? A: The spelling and pronunciation of the cookie in question is a matter of much debate. While the coconut cookie and this cookie in this video are, indeed, different cookies, their names are actually the same. They have the same derivation. It is very common for people in the U.K. and the U.S. to pronounce the cookie I made in this video with a "roon" sound. Certainly "rohn" is closer to the authentic French, but I think if I pronounced it that way, I would sound pompous. We have an established American pronunciation of the word, and it's the one I'm using. Certainly some Americans do pronounce it with a "rohn," and if you do, then you do you. The wikipedia article on macarons has a well-cited section on this topic: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaron
My first job at 15 was cleaning the chocolate molds at a specialty chocolate shop. The pastry chef used to make macaroons and if they ever came out imperfect they were thrown in a bowl for us to eat, my first ever macaroon was a “messed up one” and I remember telling the chef how good they were and when he said they were a bad batch I asked how a good batch tasted. He laughed and said “exactly the same but rich people don’t want them”.

Just attempted your recipe today and i have to say, I have a whole new appreciation for cooking. Youve changed my perspective on cooking and the notion that theres only one “perfect” way to do things. Ive started cooking for how i like my food and how it tastes rather than to please others about how amazing my presentation is. Thanks adam 🤙🏼

As a pastry chef, I LOVE this video. I've been telling students for years, food should be fun and taste good. When I was an apprentice, my teacher would always say 'Pretty food is snobby food, which is all well and good, but not at all necessary'.
Okay I have officially decided that my food has to be perfect. Because FUCK ADAMS OPINIONS This is a joke but honestly I am slightly annoyed by the yelling which is making me tempted to decide that all food has to be perfect out of spite
I don't know why I never thought about macaroons like this. Chocolate chip cookies? Any variation is perfectly fine. Thin and spread out? Perfect. Thick and chewy? Perfect. Why did I think that there is 1 ideal macaroon cookie and anything else is a failure? No idea, but you changed my life today Adam.
I told a friend at work (a pastry chef turned accountant) that I had bought a stand mixer for Christmas and made MACARONS! Her immediate response, "no you didn't." Not fun joking, like, telling me I actually did not. I explained that I made Italian meringue and achieved the "feet", but they were a little lopsided, and she cut in explaining "then you didn't make a macaron. It is defined by its perfection" So I continued... "I made delicious almond flour meringue cookies and they were exceptionally delicious" she accepted that. I'm not allowed to call them macarons in her presence smh 🙄

Yes! My grandma has made "imperfect macarons" for YEARS and she just dumps everything into the same bowl like this. (And she calls them just "double almond meringues with butter cream" and they weren't in the least French). Also, they taste heavenly if you keep them in the freezer and eat them straight from there, still cold. :D
The real reason he makes this video is because of all the misconceptions, he was allowed to test different factors, therefore delivering an excuse to make over 100 macarons.
Ok hear me out here. I loved the attitude with this video, and went into making these knowing they wouldn't be perfect. I was prepared for it to be imperfect, just like he said. However, these turned out (almost) perfect. They were perfectly smooth on top, and the even got some great feet, and were amazingly fluffy and airy. Here's what I did "wrong", just in case anyone wanted to know: -I under-whipped my eggs. I don't know WHY it helped, but somehow it did -I over-mixed the batter. I kept stirring and stirring until it was very smooth. -I added more sugar. Only a bit more than Adam called for, but still a pretty tame amount. And that's it! These turned out so delicious, and I'm going to make them again. Thanks, Adam!
I wonder if it’s smooth because by under whipping the whites, you’ve incorporated less air; then by over mixing the batter you were able to “squeeze” out even more air pockets. Fewer air pockets = smoother. Either way good job!
I just made these today and here are the results: Their feet are broken, the batter is too dry due to personal stupidity, I didn't rest them long enough. The surface is craggly and has huge air pockets, anything but smooth. The taste is mindblowing though. The drier ones occasionally have air pockets and are chewy, with perfect crispiness and caramelization. The wetter ones stick, but they taste like insanely chewy and fudgy brownies with amazing skin. People may mistake these for dollops of human excretion, but they taste divine even with how bad I am at making them. This taste test was only conducted on day 1 so I'm sure they will even taste better. And they aren't worse than the perfect store-bought ones, imo better due to the craggy surface. It lacks so volume (due to personal stupidity) but it's very dense and chewy nonetheless. Thank you Adam, I should've made this earlier. I was always intimidated with macarons, fearing for my life if I ever breathed wrong in front of them. TLDR: I messed the batter and every thing up, yet they still taste good.
I’ve done nothing but follow this recipe for years and somehow completely disregarding my expectations allowed me to make the best macarons to date- they didn’t even crack that much! I owe my little almond cookies to this man
I used this recipe multiple times and by translation mistake used peanut flour instead of almond flour 😅 The 'macarons' came out very well and were universally liked by anyone i offered them to. Later when I realised my mistake, a friend from work brought proper, almond based one and I realised I like my version better. As Adam would say - 'I like to call it a happy little accident'.
I replaced the cocoa powder with instant coffee for a "coffee and chocolate cream" flavor and boy, were they tasty! I also ended up dolloping with a soup spoon, though, and they turned out enormous... but if you like macarons the size of large cookies, go for it!
Did you use the same amount of instant coffee, and did you dissolve it or powderize it further? I'd like to try this but I don't have a good track record cooking with coffee. I love coffee flavored treats but every time I try to make any, they end up bitter and acrid, even with instant coffee I drink black!
adam is the opposite of me: he does whatever he wants to the recipe and it still ends up awesome i put 148g of flour instead of 149g and my macarons start bubbling like lava
As someone who often finds joy in making cosmetically “perfect” baked goods, I love this video so much. While spending hours making macaroons can often be fun, it’s so liberating to just making good food. I love the lack of pretentious bullshit.
This. If I'm cooking for others I'll put a lot of effort into making my food pretty, but if it's just for me I really don't care. I think there's a difference being served a perfect looking plate of food vs putting that plate together yourself all evening then sitting down and eating it in 8 minutes because it's 10pm and you haven't eaten since lunch
This video is a great lesson in the concept of diminishing returns and how it applies to cooking. Sometimes to get 10% closer to perfection you have to double the effort, and it's just not worth it 🤷🏽♀️
I've been wanting to make rice flour substitute macarons for ages, they're the almond food I miss the most since developing a big almond allergy...i was terrified of messing them up but this has definitely helped calm my nerves! thank you!
I could see this working with rice flour, but I can definitely say that using cashew flour is wonderful as well if you can eat those. And pistachio flour makes something that isn't quite like a macaron but is absolutely one of the most delicious things ever.
I tried to make the "perfect macaron". The only problem was that my homemade almond "flour" was too gritty. Anyways the tops turned out flat and I was proud of myself because I lived with the belief they are the most difficult cookies in the world. I had way too many dishes and they turned out too sweet. I convinced myself to never make these anymore because they are not worth it, and that super good. Thanks to this video I will for sure make them again, not stressing so much, with some new technics and way better results (I know that because you are awesome).
This video inspired our family to actually try making macarons. We ended up going in with the expectation that they would be lumpy etc but our second batch looked almost perfect, so we started experimenting. My housemate has been able to make perfect macaron shells with the very same effort you put in here, except with a piping bag because it's easier for us- and we've now made corn, peanut butter, raspberry and hibiscus flavored shells. We did look up a different recipe for the fruit based ones, but corn, peanut butter and chocolate from this recipe were great. You can take this shell recipe and do a 1:1 of peanut powder instead of cocoa powder, and they're so yummy we don't give them filling. This is really the video that's unlocked like a weekly/bi-weekly family activity to make these, and they come out the same quality as ones you'd buy in the store. They're awesome.
@@VelenZaiga we use a powdered flavor ingredient, this base recipe has cocoa powder, we also used raspberry, hibiscus, and peanut powder to flavor different ones. The flavorings are best if it's a dry additive like cocoa, peanut etc. Not all powders are the same but it's good to experiment!
After adding this recipe to my recipe journal and making the macarons, I’ve renamed them “midnight macarons” because they came together and were so easy to make we were able to enjoy them by 12am when I started the recipe at 10:00pm.
For the ganache: I think a espresso shot or some instant coffee REALLY improve chocolate taste in general (it’s from binging with banish but honestly it’s one of the best backing tips I know)
This video convinced me to make macarons again - and they are now a staple of my home! I have plans to change up the flavours, after having made chocolate, white chocolate and orange ones - the orange ones are good because you can use the yolks to make a quick orange curd for a filling. My next experiment is going to be basil and mascarpone - based off a dessert sorbet I had on my honeymoon!
I made this recipe and it was delicious!! Also wanted to do different flavors. I was wondering for the cookies, did you increase the almond flour since you’re omitting the cocoa powder?
I was backing with my grandma and after we thought we messed up at the end so since we had two yolks left over and I hate wasting food so we decided two add the yolks and it made very chewy and brownie as if you made the perfect fusion between cookies and brownies
GinJuice_art honestly, unless you work for a restaurant, if you take away all the aesthetic concerns of these type of recipes you can make pretty much almost anything as long as you got the ingredients

It's funny but got tired real quick.
@@AmyOnhercomputer Joshua’s videos are always fun to watch, but I rarely follow his recipes because they’re just too complicated for me- I’m no pastry chef
My daughter (3.5 years) loves your videos, we watched this one a few weeks back. Love the "Noooo" bits 😂 We finally gave them a go today... A new family favourite! So easy and yummy! Thanks for sharing your method, Adam 👍 We shouted "No" as we made them 😁
Made these last night, I had a lot of leftover egg whites from making curd so I kinda tripled the recipe. Dumped all the sugar in, couldn't quite get the floppy peaks - worried that I ruined them, but I followed the vibe from the video and didn't let it get to me like I usually would. They still turned out delicious! Ive been there stressing about getting the perfect looking macaron and it really is such a game changer not worrying about looks when the result is still delicious
This is the perfect Anti-French cooking attitude I love. As someone who has spent 10+ years as a professional cook, and about two thirds of that with french chefs, I really appreciate cutting out the bullshit and just making good food. It can be beautiful too, it just doesn't have to look like it was made in a factory.
This whole time I’ve just been imagining Adam sitting in his closet recording the audio and his family walking around hearing him scream “NO!” over and over inside.
I make a lot of macarons and I appreciate your take on them. I give away only the traditionally perfect ones, but I eat the weird ones and they are all delicious. When I bake with kids I always tell them that it doesn't matter what they look like as long as they taste good. They are great made with ground pumpkin seeds, which nobody is allergic to. Love your vids, appreciate your viewpoint.
But in all seriousness, he is right. I was much happier with my end result the first time I did macarons, once I gave up and stopped stressing about the appearances. My mom is not big on sweets, but absolutely loved them! :D So y'all just please be happy while baking and stop stressing about being pitch perfect!
I just absolutely love every one of Adam's "NNNNO!!!" videos. Like, there's a 0% chance that I'm going to be making these cookies - I haven't had A cookie in months. And there's also basically no room in the universe for me to make the veggie soup. But I just keep coming back to both of these videos. I love this attitude. It literally helped me work on my motorcycle. "See, what you've got to do is get every part of the engine antiseptically clean, then take your SAE certified straight-edge whetstone and some blueing dye..." "NNNNO!!! JUST SCRAPE OFF THE OLD GASKET WITH A RAZOR BLADE AND BOLT IT BACK TOGETHER!"
Me too. As to the soup, I've simplified his recipe: Fill your favorite microwaveable soup bowl 2/3 full with V8. Put it between to paper plates in the microwave. Microwave until bubbly hot. (Mine is 6 minutes. Take out of microwave and stir in cream and/or sour cream to taste. Serve alone or with grill cheese or whatever you like. I've been making this all winter and still surprised how good something so easy can be.
"If you really like 'perfect' macarons and if you enjoy perfecting that craft, I think that's awesome. But it's also good for all of us to think critically about what 'perfect' is to us." Damn, I came here for fancy sweets recipe but I got a life lesson instead
Love your vibe here. When I was young was taught needed a sifter, all the measuring cups, spoons wide bowls, narrow bowls after all this is chemistry. Now am with you is art and if all ingredients going in are edible and didn't turn to ash is edible. Have been thinking of making meringue cookies and this has pushed me over the edge... not macaroons as too many steps but still loved this.
nah, he's just being a youtuber which is quite a sad description. Let himself be carried away by the clickbait titles and edgy behaviour. on another note. I despise the idea of being lazy about food. food can be extremely good and tasty and also be beautiful. making macarroons in the shape of a turd is the antithesis of being a good cook. cooking as a concept is an experience not just nourishment and "this tastes good I dont give a fuck how does it looks"
@@Ghashrael I think the main point he was making is that as cooks at home, we often don't have the time or the commitment to spend the time agonizingly crafting them into perfect shapes. Oftentimes, we don't really have the time to make cooking an amazing experience as you described.
@@marclam6173 I can agree with your statement you bring up fai... NOOOOOOOOOO! He clarifies at the end its a pretty much a gimmick and you can pursue whatever you want. I just dont enjoy the humour that much and I have a different opinion on food. As a concept. I dont think what he did can be called a macaron. it can be good sure.
I've now made this recipe twice, both with the original chocolate cookie and filling and with a vanilla cookie and apricot preserve filling. Both amazing!
I tried this recipe today, since I'm visiting my mom who has an electric mixer and silpats, and it turned out amazingly! My almond flour was pretty grainy, so mine were not smooth whatsoever, but also didn't crack at all, yet the actual texture and taste as we ate them was phenomenal. The rich, almost bitter ganache paired perfectly with the super sweet and cragly looking cookies to make an almost spherical and rich dessert. I had been wanting to try French macaroons for a while now, but every other recipe I've ever seen says that moisture and humidity would ruin them. Seeing as I live in Florida, that basically meant every recipe was telling me to never bother with macarons. This video gave me the push I needed to disregard every recipe and just make them. Now I'll be looking for more flavors to try out and skip the instructions attached.
Doctor instructing his assistant: Now you're going to need to make a gentle incision here to remove the infection, and - Adam bursting into the surgery room: NNNNNOO, just cut the whole leg off, it's so much easier!
These work really well! I tried the standard recipe, came out good. Then removed the cacao and added a bit more sugar and flour and vanilla extract for vanilla cookies. Go really well with a raspberry filling!
I enjoy how he is trying to make a pastry with such an intimidating reputation more approachable for your average joe. But part of the reason why I personally like making pasties is to test my technical skill and execution to make the most perfect product I can.
Yeah i think there's room for both: go for perfection if it makes you happy to perfect a craft. go for imperfection if you just want to have fun and eat good food
My friend was complaing about how they wanted macarons but about how hard they were to make. That immediately made me remember this video so I've now sent it to them. Also I rewatched it and it truly is a masterpiece. Thanks Adam!
He makes my imperfections feel just fine. I’m happy with my not so perfect macaroons and my not so perfect self. Thanks. Have a good day. I’m gonna go make some macaroons.
remember, even though they are very similar, the things he makes in this video are macarons, not macaroons, a macaroon is something made out of coconut, not almonds.
as an unwilling perfectionist, this video scared me a lot. i swear I almost had a heart attack when he dumped the sugar right in. oh god jesus don't hug me I'm scared.

I replaced the cocoa powder with instant coffee for a "coffee and chocolate cream" flavor and boy, were they tasty! I also ended up dolloping with a soup spoon, though, and they turned out enormous... but if you like macarons the size of large cookies, go for it!
honestly sounds perfect, the main problem with macarons is that theyre too small xD
Did you use the same amount of instant coffee, and did you dissolve it or powderize it further?
I'd like to try this but I don't have a good track record cooking with coffee. I love coffee flavored treats but every time I try to make any, they end up bitter and acrid, even with instant coffee I drink black!
you should trademark them as mocha-roons uwu
Something being enormous never stopped me from putting it in my mouth.
Wait-
adam is the opposite of me:
he does whatever he wants to the recipe and it still ends up awesome
i put 148g of flour instead of 149g and my macarons start bubbling like lava
cater - *but who says that's a bad thing*
they are probably still tastier than most of macarons made in industrial amounts
cater I’m sure he does a lot of experiments off camera
Tasty, tasty lava. Or, once they cool, basalt.
probably bc you are using flour in macarons....
As someone who often finds joy in making cosmetically “perfect” baked goods, I love this video so much. While spending hours making macaroons can often be fun, it’s so liberating to just making good food. I love the lack of pretentious bullshit.
This. If I'm cooking for others I'll put a lot of effort into making my food pretty, but if it's just for me I really don't care. I think there's a difference being served a perfect looking plate of food vs putting that plate together yourself all evening then sitting down and eating it in 8 minutes because it's 10pm and you haven't eaten since lunch
@@innawoodsman i saw this reply at 10 pm when I haven’t eaten since lunch, so I’m off to go make a plate of ugly, delicious food.
It's only bullshit if there's a bull.
This video is a great lesson in the concept of diminishing returns and how it applies to cooking. Sometimes to get 10% closer to perfection you have to double the effort, and it's just not worth it 🤷🏽♀️

I've been wanting to make rice flour substitute macarons for ages, they're the almond food I miss the most since developing a big almond allergy...i was terrified of messing them up but this has definitely helped calm my nerves! thank you!
@@Spoiler1 TIL peanut flour is a thing
I could see this working with rice flour, but I can definitely say that using cashew flour is wonderful as well if you can eat those. And pistachio flour makes something that isn't quite like a macaron but is absolutely one of the most delicious things ever.
I’ve made macarons with wheat flour! They were really pretty good. I think there was a recipe on youtube.

I love his aggressive "NO"s.
I tried to make the "perfect macaron". The only problem was that my homemade almond "flour" was too gritty. Anyways the tops turned out flat and I was proud of myself because I lived with the belief they are the most difficult cookies in the world. I had way too many dishes and they turned out too sweet. I convinced myself to never make these anymore because they are not worth it, and that super good. Thanks to this video I will for sure make them again, not stressing so much, with some new technics and way better results (I know that because you are awesome).

This video inspired our family to actually try making macarons. We ended up going in with the expectation that they would be lumpy etc but our second batch looked almost perfect, so we started experimenting. My housemate has been able to make perfect macaron shells with the very same effort you put in here, except with a piping bag because it's easier for us- and we've now made corn, peanut butter, raspberry and hibiscus flavored shells. We did look up a different recipe for the fruit based ones, but corn, peanut butter and chocolate from this recipe were great. You can take this shell recipe and do a 1:1 of peanut powder instead of cocoa powder, and they're so yummy we don't give them filling. This is really the video that's unlocked like a weekly/bi-weekly family activity to make these, and they come out the same quality as ones you'd buy in the store. They're awesome.
you should make a video on this
@@m4rcyonstation93 hahaha my kitchen isn't set up for videos!
So how do you put flavor in the shells?
@@VelenZaiga we use a powdered flavor ingredient, this base recipe has cocoa powder, we also used raspberry, hibiscus, and peanut powder to flavor different ones. The flavorings are best if it's a dry additive like cocoa, peanut etc. Not all powders are the same but it's good to experiment!

I make a lot of macarons and I appreciate your take on them. I give away only the traditionally perfect ones, but I eat the weird ones and they are all delicious. When I bake with kids I always tell them that it doesn't matter what they look like as long as they taste good. They are great made with ground pumpkin seeds, which nobody is allergic to.

I tried this recipe today, since I'm visiting my mom who has an electric mixer and silpats, and it turned out amazingly! My almond flour was pretty grainy, so mine were not smooth whatsoever, but also didn't crack at all, yet the actual texture and taste as we ate them was phenomenal. The rich, almost bitter ganache paired perfectly with the super sweet and cragly looking cookies to make an almost spherical and rich dessert.
I had been wanting to try French macaroons for a while now, but every other recipe I've ever seen says that moisture and humidity would ruin them. Seeing as I live in Florida, that basically meant every recipe was telling me to never bother with macarons. This video gave me the push I needed to disregard every recipe and just make them. Now I'll be looking for more flavors to try out and skip the instructions attached.
