Instructions

Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together.
Beat egg whites and salt until frothy, then gradually add granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients and add food coloring if desired.
Pipe small rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Let macarons rest for 30-60 minutes before baking.
Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15-18 minutes.
Allow to cool before filling with buttercream or ganache.

Notes

Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for best results.

Resting the macarons before baking helps form the characteristic "feet."
