Beginner-Friendly French Macarons Recipe

Ingredients🛒
For the Macaron Shells:
1 cup (100g) almond flour
1 3/4 cups (200g) powdered sugar
3 large egg whites (about 100g), aged at room temperature
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (or any flavor extract)
Food coloring (optional)
For the Buttercream Filling:
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups (180g) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or any flavor extract)
1-2 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions🥣
Prep and Equipment:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
If you have one, use a kitchen scale for more accurate measurements.
Make the Macaron Shells:
In a bowl, sift the almond flour and powdered sugar together to remove lumps. Set aside.
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until you reach stiff peaks (the meringue should hold its shape).
Gently fold in the dry mixture (almond flour and powdered sugar) in three additions. Use a spatula to fold the mixture gently; do not overmix. It should be smooth and flow like lava.
If using, add food coloring and gently mix until evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles (about 1.5 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them.
Tap the baking sheets on the counter a few times to release air bubbles. Let the macarons sit at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes, or until a skin forms on the surface and they are no longer sticky.

Bake:
Bake the macarons in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. They should have a firm shell and a foot (the ruffled edge) at the bottom.
Once done, let them cool completely on the baking sheets.

Make the Buttercream Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and milk, adjusting the milk as needed to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.

Assemble the Macarons:
Match the cooled macaron shells in pairs of similar size. Pipe or spread a small amount of buttercream on the flat side of one shell and sandwich it with the other shell.
Allow the assembled macarons to rest in the fridge for at least 24 hours to let the flavors meld. Bring them to room temperature before serving.
