Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a bowl, sift together almond flour and powdered sugar to remove any lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites until fully combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Divide the batter into three bowls and color one blue, one yellow, and leave one black. Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors.
- Transfer each colored batter into separate pastry bags.
- Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet, alternating colors to create a starry night effect.
- Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until a skin forms on the surface.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, then let cool completely before removing from the baking sheet.
- For the filling, beat butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pipe onto half of the macarons and sandwich with the other half.
