Hello everyone! I’m new to making macarons. My first batch was a mess. I forgot to add the sugar. After that they have all been slightly hollow at the top.

I’ve made a handful of macaron batches the last few days and keep getting half hollow shells. No pictures because they made me sad. Haha. Hoping to correct my issues with help from this group!

Another batch today. It is a full macarons. Today so hot some of my mac are crack but it still looking good

Okay this is my fifth time trying macaroons but my first time using your recipe. And I'm not going to lie your recipe intrigued me because it only uses the mixer but also dumping raw egg whites into my meringue was a crazy thought. The first tray almost perfect! Slightly lopsided on the back side of the tray that was like deepest in my oven. So I decided for the second batch to rotate the tray halfway through. And as soon as I rotated the tray and set it back down every one of them cracked 😭 I also have a convection oven and I forgot to turn my fan off. Overall I'm super happy. And the fact that I can do the macronage with my mixer is crazy!!

Hi! I'm new here. Lately I've been struggling with macarons. There's nothing wrong with my macarons on the outside, but the inside is always hollow.
