My French macarons theory: Italian meringue method yields the best shell- smooth on the surface chewy on the inside. Always weigh the ingredients. Make sure the old egg whites are at room temperature. Cook sugar syrup to 118C/ 244F. Bake them in a conventional oven to ensure air circulation.

DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr These are beautiful! It's pretty humid around me. Is that going to affect the recipe?

Kitty 9yr @Rachna oh thank you! Yes, definitely, let the piped cookies rest at room temperature until a hard skin on top. In my area, it takes around 20 mins to dry out. In your situation, you may have to leave them at room temperature for an hour or more. From my experiences, humidity won't affect the overall process.
