If the batter is too thick, it will take longer for the macarons to cook, and they will not rise as much. However, if the batter is too thin, the macarons will spread out too much and will not rise as much.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n The best option<\/em> for baking macarons is to use non-stick silicone mats instead of baking paper.<\/em><\/strong> These liners are reusable and great for non-stick purposes.<\/strong><\/em> I recently came across some great Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mats<\/a><\/strong> that work!
