Capybara Yuzu Macaron-Shortbread Cookie Sandwich

 Capybara macarons again! But this time, as a yuzu shortbread cookie sandwich!

Don't they look like they are peeking out of windows?

A closer peek at the yuzu ganache filling with some bits of citrus rind in there. 


I could have made everything out of macarons instead of cookies but that would have made the bake a lot more time consuming 🤭.

Shortbread cookies are really simple to make. Simply follow the ratio of 1:2:3 for icing sugar : butter : plain flour by weight. Add some vanilla and salt and you have your vanilla version of shortbread cookies. Roll to your preferred thickness and cut out with cookie cutters. You may even shape the dough with your hands for some fun shapes without cookie cutters. For these sandwich cookies, the thickness I roll to is 3-4mm.

You may refer to my previous blog post for the recipe and tips for making chocolate macaron shells which can be tricky. 

Here's a closer look at the even feet all around.

  2. Hi, nach einer Woche voller Fehlgriffe und totaler Enttäuschung wollte ich gestern eigentlich schon den Stecker ziehen. Ich gab https://sweety-spin.ch eine letzte Chance, zumal die exklusiven Aktionen für die Schweiz wirklich vielversprechend wirkten. Zuerst passierte wenig, doch dann setzte ich mutig auf Fire Joker und landete tatsächlich einen fetten Hauptgewinn. Ich konnte mein Glück kaum fassen, als die Zahlen auf dem Schirm plötzlich explodierten. Es ist momentan mein absoluter Favorit, wenn man mal wieder eine echte Glückssträhne braucht.
