Today I am jumping out of my comfort zone.
Not too far or anything, because I am a baby steps kind of girl, but I mean raspberry rose? Whoa!
It’s a totally new flavor for me and I am in awe over it. It’s very elegant and I kind of feel like a princess while eating these, so that is kind of fun too. Asher loves that they are pink and made with raspberries, her favorite.
This is one of those recipes where I came up with the name first and then everything else followed.
Well, that and I saw the beautiful fresh raspberries at the store and I probably bought like ten cartons. They just looked so good! Normally I would wolf them down by the handfuls in a matter of days, but this time I really wanted to actually use them in a recipe.
Really though, don’t those raspberries just look so good?
They are Driscoll’s Organic, and oh my gosh, they are like candy. The best kind of candy.
Ok, but let’s talk about flowers in our food?
At first I was like, “what, that is totally weird”, but now I am all on board. When you think about it, flowers are just like any other veggie or fruit, I mean they grow from the ground, so why not? I have been playing around with lavender too, but I feel like roses are much more fancy. They are very fun and add just the right elegant flavor to the macaroons. They also pair perfectly with the sweet summertime raspberries.
I used rose water, but I think you could also use an equal amount of rose extract.
I bought both the rose water and the extract because I was not sure which I wanted to use, but decided on the water since that is what I have seen most commonly used in baking. Like I said though, I am pretty sure rose extract will work great too. You can buy the rose-water here and the rose extract here.
These are a nice light summertime dessert.
Kind of perfect for a little summer backyard BBQ, or even a day at the beach. Fancy, but easily transferable, and you can just pop um right into your mouth!
Bonus points if you buy some pretty pink roses + extra raspberries and place them around the macarons.
It makes for a super fun presentation!
The perfect little bite.
For the recipe head on over to the Driscoll’s site!
Macarons are so delicious and goodness gracious do yours look spectacular. I definitely wouldn’t mind having a few of these!

Stunning photos. Love that color!
These are the prettiest macarons ever…your photos are gorgeous, I love how pink they are. I would definitely feel like a princess eating these. That first photo is a work of art so beautiful.
Beautiful. Still haven’t gotten that fussy macaron batter down – one day!!
Oh wow, these are beautiful!!! I love that they are pink too haha! 🙂 I haven’t used Rose water in baking yet, I need to develop a recipe which will work with the delicate flavour! I love the look of macarons, but can’t eat them because of the nuts. Maybe I’ll just have to glove up and make them anyway, so other people can eat them, they look so cute!!
How fun, Tieghan! I’m going to head over and pin your recipe. We were at a Lavender Festival yesterday, we go every year. I love Lavender in food! You must try it! I look forward all year to the refreshing Lavender Lemonade, Lavender ice cream – my mom had cod for lunch and they served it with lavender tartar sauce – so good! Have fun experimenting with flowers/herbs in your cooking!
These sound amazing love the sound of the coconut, raspberry and rose together and the buttercream sounds fabulous!

So. Much. Pink! These macarons are GORGEOUS, Tieghan! The combination of flavors you used in these macarons is so so fresh and summery. Love it! And these pictures are stunning. — the lighting, the soft pinks, it all just screams nostalgia and summer! Pinned! 🙂
Omigawd!! So Pretty!!
Oh how I love these PINK infused pictures. I love PINK as much as Asher I am sure. Everything PINK is so soothing to me. I have never made this type of cookie.
These are gorgeous gorgeous photos. And, you’ve still got me interested in trying macarons since the others you posted!
Your photos are so pretty! And the macarons sound really great! I love flowers as food, yum!
I LOVE THE ROSE AND RASPBERRY COMBO!!!! And they do taste amazing when it comes to Macarons!!!!! Yours turned out BEAUTIFULLY!!!!!!!!!! And the addition of coconut flour just makes it all the more summery! Loved it!
I normally don’t read sponsored posts….but oh my, your photos are so gorgeous, I want to jump right into them! And Asher caught my eye – it’s my nephew’s name, but I see you used it for a girl!
These look fantastic, though, rose extract is a lot stronger and packs more of a punch than rosewater, so I would not be confidant with a total switch!
