Can I use wax paper instead of parchment paper for macarons?
Unfortunately, parchment paper and wax paper are not interchangeable. To make a flawless macaron you need a non-stick, heat-safe surface to pipe your cookie on, and parchment paper is a great solution. Plus, not all wax papers are meant to go in the oven, they could melt or worse ignite (yikes!).
Do macarons need to sit overnight?
In our tried and tested macaron recipe we dried the macarons out overnight, for approximately 8-9 hours before baking. To speed things up we also found that macarons can be dried out for 20 minutes in a dehydrator on the lowest setting.
Is wax paper good for macarons?
Don’t be confused by other papers and foils, they are not suitable for your recipe. Wax paper is not the same as parchment paper and will ignite in your oven while macaron shells will wind up sticking to aluminium foil sheets.
How long should macarons rest after baking?
30-60 minutes
Let the piped macarons sit out until they are dry and no longer tacky on top, usually 30-60 minutes. This time allows the top to firm up and form a skin, which helps the macarons rise UP and form their trademark ruffly “feet.” Do not let them sit out for longer than they need to because they could begin to deflate.
How long should macarons rest before baking?
20 to 40 minutes
Drying or resting the macarons shells means to leave them uncovered, piped on the baking sheets, for 20 to 40 minutes, in a cool, dry place. This step will allow the batter to form a thin skin.
Which baking sheet is best for macarons?

- heats up to temperature faster than stainless steel.
- resists warping, and are extremely sturdy and durable.
- conducts heat evenly throughout the pan.
Why do macarons stick to parchment paper?
Macarons sticking to the paper indicates that your macarons are not fully baked. The process of baking your macarons is really more like “drying out” the cookie, so if they are still sticking and not slipping off your tray, your cookies need more baking time in the oven, probably another 5-7 mins.
Can you let macarons dry too long?
Yes, it can. More is definitely not better. If your shells have already developed a skin and lost its glossy sheen, put them in the oven. Shells that have become too dry may become lopsided when baked or the feet may get stuck to the mat and break off.
