Macaroons are one of the most expensive pastries you can buy. Each little morsels goes anywhere between 2 to 4 dollars. They are extremely sensitive to handle during every step of the procedures; one wrong move and you’ll have nothing but failed artworks.

Macaroons are sweet, dense, and chewy. Eating just one or two with your daily cup of coffee or tea will satisfy any sweet tooth.

Aside from its sweetness, macaroons are made using egg whites, almond flour, and sugar. These little cookies are perfectly tasty by themselves. Most of you however prefer a flavored buttercream filling. I used Matcha (green tea) and dark chocolate with Italian buttercrea m.

Green tea is known to have plentiful health benefits, from extremely high doses of antioxidants, to regulating glucose levels in our body, to lowering bad cholesterol in our blood, the list goes on. Dark chocolate also has powerful antioxidants and also lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) in our body. Make sure to use chocolate with at least 70% cocoa, don’t worry; the buttercream is sweet enough to take the bitter edge off.

Remember, enjoy everything in moderation!
