Note: We used this macaron kit, and it made a huge difference.  Game changer, y'all.

In a large bowl:

Sift 1 cup of confectioner's sugar into the bowl.

Sift 3/4 cup of almond flour into the same large bowl.

Gently whisk together and set aside.

In the mixer:

Pour two room temperature egg whites into the mixer bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar (a little at a time).

Whisk on high until the mixture is the texture of shaving cream. You may want to switch to the paddle attachment if you aren't getting that glorious whippiness.

Add food coloring of your choice and whip until you have stiff peaks.

With a silicone or plastic spatula like this one, fold dry ingredients from your large bowl into the mixer with your "shaving cream" egg white mixture.

Continue to fold until the mixture slowly drips and sinks back into the bowl when lifted up with the spatula.

Preparing for baking:

Pour the batter into piping bags (excellent bags and tips come with the kit). Pipe onto the silicon baking mat from the macaron kit.

Once placed in the circle macaron shapes, bang the pan on the counter to get rid of any air bubbles within the batter.

Bake for 15-18 minutes.

Let cool before transferring and filling. You can use any filling you wish. The kids around your kitchen are very helpful at coming up with creative filling ideas including whipped cream, ganache, Nutella, Marshmallow Puff and so much more. Don't forget your sprinkles! Macarooning shouldn't be taken too seriously, so HAVE FUN! :)
