Cooking Steps:

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

5. Incorporate Champagne: Gradually pour in the champagne, mixing until the dough is well combined.
6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. The cookie dough will be slightly sticky.

8. Form the Cookies: Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center may look slightly underbaked, but will firm up as they cool.
10. Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Prepare Sparkling Frosting: In a separate bowl, mix the powdered sugar and milk until smooth and slightly thick. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
12. Frost the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, generously spread the sparkling frosting on top of each cookie.

Champagne Macarons With Festive Fillings

Champagne Macarons With Festive Fillings are delightful French cookies that embody elegance and celebration, making them a perfect treat for the holiday season. These delicate meringue-based cookies are flavored with a hint of champagne and filled with a luscious frosting or ganache that adds an extra festive touch. With their smooth shells and airy texture, Champagne Macarons are sure to impress your guests this Christmas.

Cooking Steps:

1. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. You can trace circles (about 1.5 inches wide) on the parchment paper as a guide if desired.
2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar. This step is essential to guarantee a smooth texture for the macarons.
3. Whip Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form and the meringue is glossy.
4. Add Champagne and Color: Gently fold the champagne and food coloring (if using) into the meringue mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the meringue.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the sifted almond flour mixture to the meringue. Fold gently but efficiently until the mixture has a smooth, flowing consistency (resembling molten lava) and all the dry ingredients are incorporated.
6. Pipe the Macarons: Transfer the macaron batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small rounds onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring there’s space between each macaron. Tap the baking sheets on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
7. Rest the Macarons: Let the piped macarons sit at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes, or until a skin forms on the surface and they feel dry to the touch.
8. Bake the Macarons: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they have risen and formed a “foot.” Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets.
9. Make the Filling: While the macarons cool, whip the softened butter in a bowl until creamy. Gradually add the heavy cream, additional powdered sugar, and your choice of flavoring extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
10. Assemble the Macarons: Once the macarons are completely cool, pair them up by size. Pipe a dollop of filling onto one macaron shell, then gently press another shell on top to create a sandwich.
11. Finish and Enjoy: Store the assembled macarons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy your festive Champagne Macarons!
