Hi, so I tried my first ever batch of macarons. The feet didn’t rise a lot and it kind of spread out. Im not sure where it wrong…..

I can’t answer you because I follow this sub to go “Oooooo!”, not to bake them.
But this is a solid first try! Still worth eating. I’m impressed with your first go.

It looks like you piped the batter close together so they connected. There will be some spread during the bake. The feet look decent though. What did you set the oven at?

you have to pipe them farther apart and even in size so that they bake evenly. piping them too close causes buildup of humidity which affects cook time, even rising etc. you can print a paper template and trace it on your parchment paper then flip the parchment paper over and pipe if you dont have a silicone mat with the template marked on it
