Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or preferred flavoring

Instructions

  1. Prep your workspace by cleaning the counter and laying out parchment paper on baking trays.
  2. Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together into a bowl.
  3. Whip egg whites in a stand mixer until frothy; gradually add white sugar until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in the sifted dry ingredients until the batter flows smoothly like lava.
  5. Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheets; tap to release air bubbles.
  6. Let the piped macarons rest for 30-60 minutes until slightly dry to touch.
  7. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake for 14-16 minutes until they develop their signature 'foot.'
