Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup finely ground almond flour

  • 2 egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for filling)
  • Flavoring (vanilla, lemon, raspberry, etc.)
  • Gel food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by cleaning surfaces and laying out parchment paper on your baking tray.
  2. Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar into a bowl.
  3. Using an electric mixer, whip egg whites until frothy, then gradually add white sugar; continue mixing until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites until the batter flows smoothly.
  5. Pipe small circles onto the parchment-lined baking tray, tap to release air bubbles, and let rest for 30-60 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake macarons for 14-16 minutes until they develop a smooth surface with a 'foot.'
  7. Cool completely before pairing similar-sized shells and piping in your chosen filling.
