Step-by-Step Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 300ºF (or 270ºF for convection).
- In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, whisk together granulated sugar and egg white powder until melted. Add egg whites, whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Sift almond flour and powdered sugar in a separate bowl. Fold into meringue in three additions, mixing in gel food coloring.
- Transfer macaron batter into a piping bag. Pipe small rounds onto prepared sheets, allowing them to rest until a skin forms (approx. 2 hours).
- Bake macarons for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool completely on sheets.
- In a clean bowl, mix powdered sugar and meringue powder, adding water to reach glossy consistency. Color with gel food coloring as desired.
- Beat together heat-treated flour, unsalted butter, and sugars until creamy. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts, adjusting with milk.
- Pipe Sugar Cookie Buttercream onto one macaron shell, sandwich with another shell, and roll edges in desiccated coconut.
