Oreo Buttercream Macarons #HMS2018

Today I am going to be making oreo buttercream macarons.

You will need

for the macarons:

1 cup of almond flour

2 cups of powdered sugar

three large eggs

3/4 cups of granulated white sugar

1/2 cup of butter

tools:

stove

pot

heat proof bowl

oven

electric mixer

sifter

baking pans

parchment paper

whisk

pastry bags

some different sized bowls

buttercream ingredients:

1/2 cup of butter

1/2 cup of white granulated sugar

two large egg whites

oreo's

2 cups of water

Optional:

food coloring

brownies

First take 2 cups of powdered sugar and one cup of almond flour and sift it until there are no more chunks.

Next mix those two ingredients.

Now take three large egg whites and the 1/4 cup of sugar, and mix it either by hand or in an electric mixer. I'm lazy so I used an electric mixer. It should look like shaving cream.

Now combine the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients, and fold them together.

Now put the batter in the pastry bag and line your baking pans with parchment paper and start to make whatever shapes you like.

Preheat your oven to 325 and put your macarons in the oven for about 15-18 minutes, but before you put them in the oven, tap the bottom of the pan to get the air bubbles out..( To check if there done, take a tooth pick and poke a hole in the shell.

First take the cream out of the oreo's and put the cookies in a plastic bag, and start to break them up.( not to small but not to big of chunks).

Boil 2 cups of water and with a heat proof bowl, put the egg whites and 1/4 cup of sugar in until it is hot to the touch, or until the sugar is fully dissolved.( Make sure you stir it occasionally because you don't want scrambled eggs.)

Take an electric mixer and mix the eggs on medium high until all white and cold or room temperature to the touch.

Take 1/2 cup of butter, and chop it into small cubes and add them in on a slow speed one at a time. After that, add in the oreo cream, and the oreo crumbles.

Next put it into a medium sized bowl and put it in the fridge to firm up. take your pastry bag and start to pipe the cream into the macarons.

To make them look nice, I would put them on a small plate and add another smaller side dish, like a chocolate brownie or fruit

Enjoy your oreo buttercream macarons. You can use this recipe over and over again trying new flavors like cream cheese filling, blackberry compote buttercream,and anything you like. p.s I look like trash.
