I can’t think of a more perfect Easter macarons then these Robin Egg Macarons! They’re the perfect shade of robin egg blue with cute little speckles and filled with a homemade chocolate ganache!
This post and recipe was created for #EasterSweetsWeek. I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.
Some days I feel like I’m rocking this mom thing and then some days I’m plunged back to reality with a teething, crying baby on my hip while I’m trying to down a cup of coffee thanks to lack of sleep.
Then there days when my sweet little baby sounds like he needs a good dose of holy water and an exorcism, but then there days like today where he’s perfectly content playing with his new teething rings while I try to get as much work or he’s perfectly happy cuddling in my arms. 🙂
Just like some days I can barely grab sandwich for lunch and then some magical days I have time to make Robin Egg Macarons.
Motherhood is an crazy adventure but I wouldn’t trade it for anything! Even if I haven’t gotten a full nights sleep in the past 6 months and some days cookies seem to be my meal of convince. haha
So back to these Robin Egg Macarons! They’re the third recipe I’m sharing with y’all for this week’s #EasterSweetsWeek event!
I hope y’all have been following along and that y’all have entered the giveaway at the bottom of the posts this week.
Monday I shared Caramel Bunny Peanut Butter Brownies with y’all and then yesterday I posted a fun post on how I make my favorite mini Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Rabbits!
Alright, so I know that you can just use a baking tray and parchment paper to make macarons and that you don’t NEED a special mat just for making them. However, let me just tell you that having this Macaron Baking Mat had made my life so much easier when it comes to making macarons.
It makes sure they are all mostly the same size and it keeps them from spreading too much!
But if you don’t have a macaron baking mat like this, have no fear! There are tons of people that make perfect macarons with just a baking sheet and a regular baking mat.
The Robin Egg Macarons that I made here are filled with a super easy homemade chocolate ganache but you could also fill them with a thick homemade vanilla or chocolate frosting type of filling. Macarons are very light and delicate though so make sure your filling isn’t too thick or the beautiful cookie shells will break when you try to press them into cookie sandwich.

I love macarons and yours are so pretty! I can’t wait to try your recipe Angie!
girl the fact that you made such pretty macarons with a baby means you’re KILLING it! I have the hardest time keeping up with the normal cooking and keeping the house semi=clean so my baking and blog recipes have been neglected *sigh*
Angie – Your recipe calls for “1 cup (4 ounces)” of almond flour. Since we know a cup is 8 ounces, is the 4 oz measurement by weight? Trying to figure out if I have enough almond flour to pull this recipe off. I’m used to using more for 48 shells. Thanks!!
Yes, the 4 oz measurement is by weight
Oh my goodness, these are absolutely beautiful! Now I want to rush off to the kitchen and make some of my own!
These are simply beautiful!
