Points for making peanut macarons
Before making the meringue, check the hand mixer or bowl for oil or water.
Use fresh eggs as much as possible.
When making the meringue, I recommend using a hand mixer on high speed from the beginning to beat the meringue. (I was able to make meringue by whisking continuously for about 3 minutes while adding granulated sugar. ☺️)
I recommend using a *squeeze bag and a mouthpiece to squeeze out the macaroon dough nicely.

Recipe inspiration & postscript
Hello! This is Jibby, a staff member of Suzuichi Shoten. ☺️
The reason why I made peanut macarons was because I was so motivated to make cute sweets for Valentine’s Day this year ✊…so I made them with my daughter.
(I could only think of cute sweets -> macarons).
This was my first time making macarons, but it was easier than I thought it would be 💡.

By the way, I made these macaroons as a gift. I thought I was going to taste them, but I ate many of them. LOL!
I hope you will also wrap them cutely and give them to your loved ones and friends… (I think it is also cute to wrap each macaroon one by one ♡)
