Macaroons from a BOX!

Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup Kodiak Cakes Baking Mix
  • 1 cup Confectioner's Sugar
  • 2 room temperature Egg Whites
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract
  • Food Coloring
Instructions

  1. Sift baking mix into a bowl.

  2. Sift confectioner's sugar into the same bowl as the baking mix.

  3. Set aside.

  4. In a stand mixer, whip two room temperature egg whites on high until fully whipped, (2-3 minutes).  

  5. Slowly add in granulated sugar a little bit at a time and continue to whip.

  6. Once whipped, add food coloring and whip until blended.

  7. To maintain whippiness, slow the mixer down and begin adding the baking mix/confectioner's sugar to the egg white mixture one scoop at a time. 

  8. Speed up the mixer one more time for around one minute.  

  9. Pipe macaroon batter onto a macaroon baking mat or in circles on parchment paper covered cookie sheet.  

  10. Allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes before placing the macaroons into the oven.  This will allow the macaroons to stabilize before baking.

  11. Bake for 8-10 minute.  

Filling:

  1. Instead of ganache, we used almond butter, Nutella, and fresh berries.
