Ingredients

1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups confectioner's sugar
2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon matcha powder
4 large egg whites
2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk

Time Needed

Prep Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sift together the almond flour, confectioner's sugar, and matcha powder in a medium mixing bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
Fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites gently but thoroughly.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip with the mixture and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
Allow the macarons to form a skin at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes, or until they are set and lightly golden.
Heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter has melted.
Whisk in the confectioner's sugar until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Allow the mixture to reach room temperature.
Fill a piping bag with the matcha latte buttercream and pipe it onto half of the macarons' flat sides.
To make a sandwich, top with the remaining macarons.
Allow at least 30 minutes before serving to chill.
