105 grams powdered sugar

Macaronage for all-purpose flour macarons: IMPORTANT! The macaronage for these all-purpose flour macarons will take WAY less time than the macaronage for regular almond macarons.

Baking time: Baking all-purpose flour macarons is trickier than almond flour macarons if that's what you are used to. The almond flour macarons are done baking when they aren't jiggly anymore. However, I found with the all-purpose flour macarons, that if I removed them from the oven once they were completely firm and not jiggly anymore, they would cool down to become hard and crispy.

Troubleshooting: If the feet spread out, if the shells are too delicate on top, or if the macarons are wrinkled, it's due to over mixing the batter during the macaronage, and if the macarons are hard like brittle, it's because they've been over baked.

Hard shells: One great way to soften them up, is to place them in an air tight container with a slice of bread inside for 1 or 2 days. Don't let the bread directly touch the shells, put a layer of plastic in between to avoid them from touching. The sugar in the macaron shells will absorb the moisture from the bread and will help the shells soften up.
