Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.

5. Mix Dry Ingredients with Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, ensuring not to overmix. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
7. Form Cookies: Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the dough into rounded balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to firm up while cooling.
9. Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ube Macarons

Ube macarons are a delightful and visually stunning dessert that combines the elegance of traditional French macarons with the unique flavor of ube, a purple yam commonly used in Filipino desserts. These delicate cookies feature a crisp outer shell and a chewy interior filled with a creamy ube buttercream or ganache. Perfect for festive occasions or as an impressive treat to impress your guests, ube macarons are certain to be a hit.

Instructions:

1. Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. If desired, you can draw circles on the parchment paper to help guide the size of your macarons.
2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar. This helps to remove any lumps and guarantees a smooth macaron shell. Set aside.
3. Whip Egg Whites: In another large mixing bowl, whip the egg whites using an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to whip. Increase the speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form and the mixture has a glossy appearance. If using, add ube extract and purple food coloring at this stage.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the sifted almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Make sure to do this carefully to avoid deflating the meringue. The mixture should be smooth and flow like lava.
5. Pipe Macaron Shells: Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe uniform circles onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring there is enough space between each macaron as they will spread slightly. Tap the baking sheets on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
6. Rest the Macarons: Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or until the tops feel dry to the touch. This step is crucial for developing the signature “feet” of the macarons.
7. Bake the Macarons: Once the macarons have formed a skin, bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they should not brown but will have a firm shell when done. Let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
8. Prepare Ube Buttercream: In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until combined. Mix in the ube puree until smooth. Adjust the consistency with a little milk if needed.
9. Assemble the Macarons: Once the macaron shells have cooled completely, pair them up by size. Pipe a generous amount of ube buttercream onto the flat side of one shell, and sandwich it with its pair.
10. Set and Serve: Allow the assembled macarons to set in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours for the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy your beautiful ube macarons!

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should come together easily but still be soft.
6. Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading. If desired, flatten the tops slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
7. Chill the Dough: For best results, chill the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes. This helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
8. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden. The centers may appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
