Ingredients

3 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg whites, room temp
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup almond flour
food coloring gel in the color red
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Time Needed

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

Instructions

Two baking sheets should be lined with parchment paper.
Sift together powdered sugar, almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Separately, in a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites on low speed until frothy.
Mix in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
Add the red food coloring and mix on low speed until combined.
Fold in the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and shiny.
Fill a piping bag with a 1/2-inch tip with the batter.
Pipe 1-inch rounds onto prepared baking sheets, 1 inch apart.
Tap each sheet 5 times on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Allow macarons to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour, or until they have formed a skin and are no longer sticky to the touch.
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Bake macarons for 10-15 minutes, or until risen and set but with a slight jiggle in the center.
Allow baking sheets to cool completely before removing and filling with desired filling.
