Ingredients 

Macaron Shells

  • 1 ¾ cups Powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Almond flour
  • 3 large Egg whites room temperature
  • ¼ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Salt

Filling

  • ½ cup Butter softened
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoon Milk

Instructions 

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2. Sift the powdered sugar and almond flour together into a bowl.
  3. 3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and salt.

  5. 5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
