Tried a different recipe and things got MUCH better today… But our sides are very flat? Any idea what could cause this?

I can’t offer any help- I’d take those results in a heartbeat!

As long as the macarons are full in the inside, id take them as is!

Assuming French method. If not using parchment paper give that a try. There could be too much moisture causing the feet to not dry out and ruffle. May also need to slightly (5-10 degrees) increase oven temp.

Ruffles are actually not what you want, they indicate a meringue that wasn’t strong enough and macs that weren’t baked at the right temperature for them to get up on their feet without collapsing.

These are perfect feet. Like everyone has said, the ruffles are a flaw like lumps, blotches, or hollows.
