Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Macarons

by | 30 Comments

Cookie Dough Macarons arranged on dark wood with cookiesWhen I visited New York City last September, I went to a tiny pop-up macaron shop in Dylan’s Candy Bar called Dana’s Bakery. Dana’s is known for their colorful, unique macarons in fun flavors like Fruity Pebbles and Birthday Cake, and I was dying to try their Cookie Dough macaron.

But as fate would have it, they were sold out. And I was so bummed.

I mean, helllooooo – cookie dough macarons?! Genius! It combines two of my favorite things: delectably sweet chocolate chip cookie dough and crisp, airy and fabulous French macarons. What’s not to love?!

So after my mini letdown, I came home determined to make Cookie Dough Macarons at home. And thankfully, I succeeded because OMG. It was basically life-changing you guys. Sweet, crispy, airy, chewy and studded with miniature chocolate chips in nearly every bite… talk about amazing. And I didn’t need to rely on a pop-up bakery’s supply to get my fix… that’ll do, pig. That’ll do.

  1. Hayley – Your macarons are always so unique and mouthwatering. I need to practice my skills in the near future. 🙂 Dylan’s is such a fun place to go. Last time that I went into the city by myself, I walked to 23rd street from 42nd just to get macarons at Mason du Macaron. It was totally worth it. 🙂

  7. Oooh, I LOVE these macarons! What an amazing filling—and I can see why the bakery was sold out. But I’m glad I can now make them at home. Brava!!!

    These look so good Hayley, I just started dablling with macarons and I can’t say it’s going terribly well for me. These are inspiring, and so PERFECT looking!

    • Sam – keep going! You’ll get there, I promise. My earlier macs tasted great but needed some appearance tweaks, but I’m happy to say I feel pretty confident with them now! 🙂 You’ll be in the same boat too – practice girl! xoxo!

  14. I think this recipe will get me to attempt macarons again. I love them so much but haven’t been able to make them properly yet. I’ll have to try your method!
