Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, almond flour, and cocoa powder.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy on medium speed.
Continue to beat until soft peaks form after adding the cream of tartar.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture gently until just combined.
Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip and pipe small circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
To release any air bubbles, tap the baking sheet on a flat surface.
Allow the macarons to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature to form a skin on top.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the macarons are firm and easy to remove from the parchment paper.
Allow the macarons to completely cool on the baking sheet.
To make the chocolate filling, bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan.
Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips.
Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the softened butter until well combined.
Filling should be transferred to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
Pipe a small amount of filling onto one macaron's flat side and sandwich with another.
Continue with the remaining macarons and filling.
Refrigerate macarons in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
