Cook Time: 30 Min
Ingredients
1
Add the granulated sugar and egg whites to the bowl of a double boiler. Whisk until the egg whites are frothy and the sugar is dissolved.
2
Add the egg white/sugar mixture to a large bowl and use a handheld electric mixer to beat until it forms stiff peaks.
4
Be careful not to over-mix. A good test is to see if you the batter falls off the spatula in ribbons to make a figure 8 shape.
5
Pipe the batter onto baking trays lined with silpat macaron baking mats. Let the cookies sit to form a skin on top, and then bake.
6
Sandwich the cookies together with buttercream and decorate with a drizzle of white chocolate and a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
