The flavor of these were very tasty but the texture of the hazelnuts in the macaroon left an odd feeling on the tongue. As a result, I wouldn't make these again and I love hazelnuts.

I want to amend my review. I remade these and focused on really grinding the hazelnuts. It made a HUGE difference with the texture of the macaroons and the overall outcome was great. The grinding and sifting is very laborious (there must be an easier way to do this but the rest of the recipe was pretty easy and fast. The cookies are flavorful and I had no issues removing them from the parchment paper.

Macarons are difficult, not intermediate. I've tried 3 methods and failed. It has become too expensive to experiment.

i thought that a basic macaron recipe uses almondflour/meal?
by the way, is it ok to substitute almond meal for almond flour?

We (my twin and I made this two weeks in a row, and everyone at home loved them! I should say, right off the bat, that it is totally worth investing in non-stick/silpat mats if you want flawless results. The first time we made these, we piped a bit on the small side, but we monitored them closely and got them out so that they were still melty and fluffy. We did have a little trouble with the ganache.... It seemed that the recipe called for more heavy cream than needed, and it came out runny. The second time we used a buttercream filling, and haven't had a chance to update/make adjustments to the ganache. Overall, they tasted devine! And the best part is that they were a snap to make!

I had been wanting to make macaroons for a while always afraid to do it until I found this recipe. It was all much easier than anticipated, and the result turned out good. I ended up baking the cookies part for 15 minutes, as the first batch was a little overcooked at 18 minutes, but that's it. Great recipe!

Toast the hazelnut at 350 degree for about 15-20 minutes, watch the oven to make sure it is not burned. Remove from oven and allow to completely cool, 30 minutes. Skin should remove easily.
