How to Make Dunkaroo Macarons
For the cookie you will need —
- 1 cup of finely sifted almond flour. I like the Blue Diamond that I get from Amazon
- 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon of egg white powder
- teal blue food coloring
- 3 egg whites
- 1/2 cup of sugar
Measure the confectioners' sugar, egg white powder, and almond flour into a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk and combine.
In your KitchenAid mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Now add the 1/2 cup of sugar and a few drops of the teal blue food coloring. Beat until stiff and shiny, about 5 more minutes.
Transfer the beaten egg whites to the bowl with the almond flour mixture. Draw a rubber spatula halfway through the mixture and fold until incorporated, giving the bowl a quarter turn with each fold. Do this until the batter flows consistently to make a figure 8.
Pipe the Macaron Cookies
Transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch round tip. Holding the bag vertically and close to the baking sheet, pipe 1 1/4-inch circles (24 per sheet). Firmly tap the baking sheets three times against the counter to release any air bubbles.
Let the cookies sit at room temperature until the tops are no longer sticky to the touch. This will take about 20 minutes. The top should be dry and not sticky.
Bake the first batch at 315 degrees until the cookies are shiny and rise 1/8 inch to form a “foot,” about 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely. You will know the cookies are done when you touch them and there is not much give.
Once the cookies are cooled, peel them off and flip them over. Match cookies by size. Then, sandwich it with a thin layer of filling.
The Filling for These Macarons
Grab a 1.5-ounce pack of Dunkaroos. Set the vanilla cookies aside for later!
For the filling, add 1/4 cup of butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and all the Dunkaroo dipping cream for the filling. Mix them together and then add them to a piping bag. I like using the star tip to give them a little pizzazz.
Once the cookies are filled, then you can decorate the top.
Decorating Your Cookies
Take the vanilla cookies that come in the Dunkaroo pack and crush them in a ziplock bag. Now, set them aside.
Using white chocolate chips that you melted, drizzle them across the tops of your finished cookies. Add on some sprinkles and some of the crushed cookies and allow it to dry.
Make sure to let the cookies set up in the fridge for a couple of hours before eating them.

Ingredients
For the cookie
- 1 cup of almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon of egg white powder
- 3 egg whites
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- teal blue gel food coloring
For the cream center
- 1/4 cup of butter, softened
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- 1.5 ounce Dunkaroo cookie pack (you will only use the cream for the filling)
For the cookie decorations
- 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles
- Cookies from Dunkaroo Pack
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered sugar, and egg white powder. Use a whisk to combine.
- In your KitchenAid mixer, whisk the egg whites until they begin to froth. Add 1/2 cup of sugar and 3 drops of teal gel food coloring.
- Continue whisking until the mixture is shiny and you have good peaks. The mixture should be stiff.
- Now, mix the egg white mixture with the almond flour mixture. Using a rubber spatula, mix clockwise and then straight down. This is one turn. Do this about 30 times. The mixture should be smooth and when picked up from the bowl with the spatula, it should come off in a ribbon. You should be able to make a figure 8 without the batter breaking.
- Add the mixture to a piping bag with a 1/4" tip.
- Cover the baking pans with parchment paper or macaron silicone baking mats.
- Pipe 24 cookies on each tray. Tap them on the counter 3 times to release the air bubbles.
- Preheat the oven to 315 degrees.
- Allow the cookies to dry for about 20 minutes.
- Place the cookies in the oven and cook for about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool. Remove from the tray and match the cookies together by size.
- To make the creamy center, combine the butter, powdered sugar, Dunkaroo dip, and milk together in the mixer. Beat until everything comes together.
- Take the vanilla cookies that come with the Dunkaroo pack and crush them in a ziplock bag. Set aside.
- Place in a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe onto one side of half of the cookies. Place another cookie on top.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave until just starting to melt. Drizzle the mixture over the cookies.
- Top with sprinkles and crushed vanilla cookies.
- Place in the fridge for about an hour or two before eating.
