Instructions
Macarons
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Beat egg whites until foamy, then gradually mix in sugar. Beat for about 6 minutes, or until stiff peaks form
  3. Into a separate bowl, sift together powdered sugar and almond flour. Whisk to combine, then toss into egg white mixture and fold just to combine. Note: Don't try to achieve the perfect macaron batter consistency here if you're going to color your batter! This is because you'll need to keep mixing once you add in the food color.
  4. Scoop desired portion of batter into a separate bowl and color with gel food color. Mix until batter runs off of spatula slowly but continuously. Transfer batter to a piping bag or Ziploc bag.
  5. Pipe batter onto prepared baking sheet into desired shapes. Preheat oven to 300 F.
  6. For mini macarons, let rest for 15-20 minutes or until you can lightly tap the macaron and your finger doesn't stick. For full-size 1" macarons, let rest for 20-30 minutes.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Macarons should come off baking sheet cleanly.
Buttercream Frosting
  1. Cream together butter and powdered sugar, then mix in vanilla.
