I’ve been making a lot of macarons this year and I’ve had a lot of fun playing around with different flavor combinations. These Pumpkin Spice Macarons are the perfect cookie to nibble on while you sip on a pumpkin spice latte and and enjoy the crisp autumn breeze. These little cookies are full of pumpkin spice flavor and a beautiful orange color! Plus the vanilla bean buttercream filling is just delicious!
What you need for Pumpkin Spice Macarons:
- Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- fine almond flour
- pumpkin pie spice
- egg whites, room temperature
- salt
- Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- orange gel food color
What you need for Vanilla-Bean Buttercream:
- unsalted butter, room temperature
- Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- vanilla bean paste or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- milk or heavy cream
Using different flavored buttercreams and fillings:
I picked a vanilla bean buttercream for these Pumpkin Spice Macarons because I liked the way it paired with the Pumpkin Spice cookie shell but you would totally change that up if you wanted to.
You could make a cream cheese frosting to sandwich in the middle of these Pumpkin Spice Macarons or maybe even a brown butter cinnamon sugar frosting. I personally love pumpkin spice and chocolate together so I think a chocolate ganache filling would be delicious as well.

Just made this recipe! Everything came out perfect (the filling is DELICIOUS! One of the best I’ve tried) except for the cracks on the top of my shells. I use a gas stove that is quite finicky and I believe it has hot spots, though I haven’t checked, so I believe that’s the cause of the cracks. Thankfully the cracks don’t affect the taste. My family is going to love these! Thanks for sharing.
