These coffee flavored macarons are filled with a chocolate ganache center. The macaron cookie has the perfect coffee flavor for one amazingly delicious macaron!

Kayla and I love making homemade French macarons. During the Spring, we made some Strawberry Lemon macarons. They were filled with the perfect lemon curd.

We also experimented with Lemon Lavender Macarons and to be honest, those were the best ones we made.

That was, until we created these coffee flavored macarons.

We have made a lot of delicious flavors over the years, but these are my favorite so far. Today, I am going to show you how you can make these as well.

How to Make Coffee Flavored Macarons

These are made just like my Cinnamon Roll Macarons are made. The flavors are just different, but the technique is all the same.

For the cookie batter you will need —

• 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
• 1 cup of almond flour, sifted
• a tablespoon of egg white powder
• 3 egg whites
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of instant coffee

Start by combining 1 and 1/2 cups of powdered sugar with 1 cup of almond flour, egg white powder, and the instant coffee.  We have found that the best almond flour to use is the Blue Diamond Finely Sifted Almond Flour. It is the perfect consistency that once sifted, there is almost nothing to toss.

Just throw away the clumpy bits because you will not use them. Set the other bowl aside.

Now, in your stand mixer, you will beat your egg whites until they are fluffy. Then, add in your sugar. Beat on high until somewhat stiff.

Your egg whites need to be stiff enough to create a little bird beak. This is what it should look like. The purple batter is from the Lavender macarons I made.

Fold the meringue into the dry ingredients. The batter will be thick but loose enough to make a figure 8 in the batter.

To whip this batter, you have to be super careful and not over whip it. This will cause your cookies not to gain their feet (which we will talk about below).

In the bowl, use a rubber spatula and start a circle in a clockwise motion. When you get back to the top at 12'oclock, then go straight down. That is 1 turn.

Do this 35-45 times.

Now, put your large tip on the piping bag and fill the bag with the cookie batter.

Pipe the cookies onto the tray. You can make smaller ones or you can make bigger ones. The size depends on you. The normal size is about 1 and 1/2″

We like to stay somewhere in between.

Once you pipe the cookies onto your parchment lined sheet tray, take a wet finger and gently tap the top of the cookies if there are any tips sticking up.

Before you bake the cookies

Take the tray and firmly tap it on the counter 3 times to remove any air bubbles from the cookies.

Then, let the cookies rest for 20 minutes or until the tops are dry to the touch. They should not be sticky at all.

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and when you are ready to bake the cookies, place them on the middle rack and bake for about 12 minutes.

Let them cool before peeling them off of the parchment paper. Your cookies should have feet like these when they are baked correctly.

Let's Fill Those Cookies

Before filling your cookies, take them and try to match up the sizes as best as you can. Since we are human and not perfect, the sizes will not all be uniform.

You can fill your cookies with whatever flavor you like. Most of the time, people go for buttercream. However, for this recipe, we are doing melted chocolate.

We made a chocolate ganache to go in the center of these.

Heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a sauce pan and once it is hot, pour it over 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Mix together until creamy.

Then, place it in a ziplock bag and let it sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up just a bit. You want it to be squeezable, but not runny.

Then, snip the corner of the bag and pipe the chocolate onto the bottom half of the cookie.

Put the top half on and allow the cookies to set up in the fridge so the chocolate hardens all the way. When it is done, you have the perfect Coffee Flavored Macaron cookie.
