Yikes! Vitamin flavored macaron do not sound appealing! Hopefully this batch will be better.

Well rats…
Not all carrot juice powder is created equal!
Should’ve made my own. The organic high end one I bought smelled like vitamin powder from the get go. Never even got to macronage. Too thick. Made balls and threw them in the oven anyway. If you like the taste and smell of flintstone vitamins then you might like my latest batch!
Bummer.
Going to try again with my own dried carrot powder.

What a great idea! I never thought to try that. I will definitely keep that mind when making carrot flavored shells again.

I made my own carrot powder by cutting carrots THINLY on a mandoline and popping them into a 250 degree oven to dry them out completely. They become dry and curl up. Next I whirl them around in a spice grinder until they become powder.

Someone sent me some, but you could easily use this powder. https://amzn.to/2F37DEi Yes, it is an affiliate link. 🙂

Thank you,

There’s really not. Freeze dried carrots ground to a powder maybe, but I don’t think cooked carrots in the filling would make for a good substitute. You could replace it with powdered sugar but the shells might not have that carrot flavor that really works with this cookie.

Thank you! I totally spaced on that. You do add it with the almond meal and powdered sugar mixture. I’ve fixed that.
