Have you ever dreamed of creating a mesmerizing rainbow of pastel French cookies that are as delightful to look at as they are to taste? These Rainbow Macarons are a vibrant pastry masterpiece inspired by Wednesday Addams and her gothic charm. Perfect for special occasions, parties, or just a fun baking adventure, these colorful French cookies will wow your friends and family. In this article, we’ll guide you step-by-step in baking these charming dessert treats, ensuring they turn out perfect every time.
2. Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour, finely ground
- 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
- 3 large egg whites (at room temperature)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- Gel food coloring in multiple vibrant colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
- Optional: Edible glitter or shimmer powder for extra sparkle
- Extra: Filling such as buttercream, ganache, or jam
3. Step-by-step instructions
Preparing the meringue mixture
Begin by sifting together the almond flour and powdered sugar into a bowl to eliminate any lumps. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue whisking until stiff, glossy peaks form. Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites, creating a smooth and shiny batter.
Coloring and piping the macarons
Divide the batter equally into several bowls, each representing a different color of the rainbow. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl and gently mix until the color is uniform. Transfer each colored batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats, creating even, round shapes.
Resting and baking
Allow the piped macarons to rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, until a skin forms and they no longer stick to your finger. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes, or until they develop a crisp exterior and a slight lift from the baking sheet. Let them cool completely before attempting to remove them.
Filling and assembling
Spread your chosen filling onto one macaron shell, then gently sandwich it with a matching or contrasting color shell. Repeat with all cookies, and let the assembled macarons sit in the fridge for a few hours to develop the flavors and set the filling.
4. Storage tips for Rainbow Macarons
Store your vibrant pastry treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness. For longer storage, freeze the macarons in a single layer and then transfer to a sealed container, allowing them to thaw at room temperature before serving. Proper storage keeps them moist and preserves their vibrant colors.
5. Serving suggestions
These Colorful French cookies are perfect as dessert treats at birthdays, themed parties, or even as a sweet gift. Present them on a beautiful platter topped with edible glitter or sprinkles to enhance their vibrant appeal. Pair with a cup of tea or a glass of sparkling beverage for an elegant treat.

6. FAQs about Rainbow Macarons
Can I make these rainbow French cookies ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare and assemble the macarons a day in advance. Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and bring them to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
What are some substitutions for egg whites?
If you prefer an egg-free version, try aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) whipped until stiff peaks. This substitutes well for traditional egg whites in macarons.
How long does it take to prepare rainbow French cookies?
Expect about 1.5 to 2 hours including preparation, piping, resting, baking, and filling. The resting time is crucial for successful macaron shells.
Are there vegan options for these dessert treats?
Yes, you can experiment with egg replacers like aquafaba and vegan-friendly fillings such as coconut cream-based ganache or fruit jams.

Creating vibrant pastry like these Rainbow Macarons is not only a fun baking project but also an impressive treat that celebrates color and creativity.
