Ingredients

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries
pink food coloring
4 egg whites
2 cups almond flour

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.
Pulse the almond flour, powdered sugar, and freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until well combined and no lumps remain.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and salt until foamy.
Add the granulated sugar gradually and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
Fold in the dry ingredients, along with a few drops of pink food coloring, until the batter is smooth and shiny.
Fill a piping bag with a round tip with the batter and pipe small rounds 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 but not browned.
Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet after removing from the oven.
Once the macarons have cooled, gently peel them off the parchment paper and arrange them by size.
Spread a dollop of strawberry jam on one macaron's flat side and sandwich with another.
Repeat with the rest of the macarons.
Serve and have fun.
