Delicate and colorful French macarons with a crispy exterior and chewy interior, filled with creamy buttercream or ganache.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Buttercream or ganache for filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar, making sure there are no lumps.
  3. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  4. Mix in vanilla extract and food coloring if you’re using it.
  5. Fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites until well combined.
  6. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheets, about 1.5 inches apart.
  7. Let the piped macaron shells sit at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes until a crust forms on their surface.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until set. Let them cool completely on the baking sheets.
  9. Once cooled, sandwich two macaron shells with buttercream or ganache filling.

Notes

Macarons are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them tightly sealed.
