PIES AND TACOS
These cute Gingerbread Men Macarons, with a gingerbread spiced macaron shell, are filled with a Gingerbread Buttercream filling.
Let’s start out with the template. Download the template for free, print it, place under your baking mat, and pipe away.
The Gingerbread Men Macarons are filled with a delicious Gingerbread Buttercream, which I have also used for my Gingerbread Macarons, and my Reindeer Macarons.
And to decorate the gingerbread men, I have used royal icing and also an edible marker to make the eyes and the mouth. I like to use the fine tip so you can get a very fine trace on the mouth and small eyes as well.
Make sure the batter is not so stiff, because if the batter is not mixed enough, even if just slightly, the surface of the shells will be bumpy and not smooth.
Always, I repeat, always let your shaped macarons rest. Two things can happen if you don’t rest them, they can come out without feet, or they can crack when they bake in the oven.
Aren’t these Gingerbread Men Macarons just about the cutest you’ve ever seen? They are the perfect Christmas Macarons.
It’s perfect for holiday gatherings or when you want to impress your guests with something a little different but still cozy and familiar!
