Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (orange, green, purple, black)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and almond flour. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in the vanilla extract and the powdered sugar mixture until combined.
  5. Divide the batter into separate bowls and add food coloring to each bowl to create different colors for your macarons.
  6. Transfer the colored batter into piping bags fitted with round tips.
  7. Pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  8. Tap the baking sheet on the counter to remove any air bubbles, then let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to form a skin.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the macarons are set and have formed feet.
  10. Let the macarons cool completely before filling with your favorite spooky Halloween filling, such as colored buttercream or chocolate ganache.
