Awww hun so sorry to see that it can be so disappointing they were such a beautiful colour too!
I bake a lot but I do NOT f**k with macarons, way too needy for me and the heartache would do me in lol
Give me a 5 layer chocolate hazelnut layer cake with smbc to make anytime !

At least they still taste good! Gotta find that silver lining where you can get it.
I’ve never been brave enough to try making these, but because I hate myself, I want to try despite all the horror stories.

Your shells had not formed a skin or developed their *feet* fully because they weren’t left out to air dry for long enough. Also, you need to drop the pan on the counter like it owes you money, or smack the bottom of the pan with your hand a couple of times so that any air trapped in them is released. Doing that will prevent most cracking because it is usually caused by the trapped air in the shell expanding when heated during baking.
They are such a lovely color, may I ask the name of it and the brand?
I’m sure they still taste delicious.🥹🫶

I will never try making them for that reason, they are some scary cookies to make 😔

I find, living in a humid place, that I have to let mine rest for a full 60 minutes before baking, or they crack like this.

I want to say in this instance you didn’t macaronage enough. But i bet they were yummy crinkle cookies. Fill them and let them mature anyway and munch one them while you do your next trial.
IMO it’s a rite of passage of royally mess up macarons when you’re first starting. During my macaron stage I think I did 6 rounds before they were “good”. It was another 6 or so before I thought they were worthy of me even wanting to photograph them lol.

Lower temp to keep the blue, blue. Heat turns blue green.

Add edible gold paint along the cracks and turn them into kintsugi macarons!!

Maybe you could use piped frosting and edible gold dust to make kintsugi macarons.

You oven might have been too hot, plus, they look a bit over baked

They have to be basically dry to the touch on the outside before you put them in the oven. Otherwise this will happen

No loss, now you have the upper limit.
