Pumpkin Pie Spice Macarons

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 150 g almond flour plus 30 g walnut flour you can do 180 g almond or 180 g walnut, or half almond and half walnut as long as it becomes 180 g in weight - I grind the nuts myself
  • 270 g icing sugar
  • 150 g egg whites no need to age them and even straight from the fridge, works for me as well - I use pasteurized egg whites from a carton, shake first.
  • 100 g berry sugar castor
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin spice store bought or homemade, or lapis legit spice or allspice

Pumpkin Spice

  • 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 ½ tsp ground allspice
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cloves

Ganache

  • 1/4 c milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 100 g milk chocolate
  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 1 handful baking chips

Instructions

  • Sift nut flour, set aside
  • Sift icing sugar and mix into nut flour
  • Sift both together and whatever don't go through the sift, run them in a blender then sift again, and whatever left on the sift, discard
  • Mix sifted nut and icing sugar with pumpkin pie spice
  • Beat egg whites until frothy on medium high speed then add in berry sugar a little at a time, beat until firm peaks (5-7 minutes long) - the idea is even when you turn your mixer bowl upside down, the egg white won't slide off
  • Fold in nut mixture into beaten egg whites, until you get a smooth mixture
  • Pour batter into piping bag and pipe batter onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, nickel size
  • Let stand at room temperature for 30 mins
  • Preheat oven 325 F and bake cookies one sheet at a time in middle rack for 12-15 mins
  • Take out, let cookies cool to room temperature on the sheet
  • Mix all and use as needed!
  • Heat milk and butter in microwave for 40 seconds, stir butter to melt
  • Let stand for half minute and add in the chocolate, stir to melt fully
  • Let stand to room temperature until thickened, stirring occasionally
  • To speed up the process, you can store in the fridge for a bit!
  • Place ganache into piping bag and pipe some filling on cookies and sandwich them!
