It is the season for pumpkins and so in keeping with that theme here is my experience making a batch of really easy Pumpkin Spice Macarons…and then sharing the tutorial! Well, when I say easy…what I mean is ‘easy’ as far as macarons go. If you have ever made macarons before then you know exactly what I’m talking about. Macarons are notorious for be a tricky but they a ‘well worth the wait’ type of pastry. These macarons are the Pumpkin Spice version of French Macarons see my post here, not American Macaroon cookies. I made these cuties in one afternoon because I already had the ingredients on hand at home. Be sure to take a look at the ingredient list before starting this quick and easy macaron recipe.
