Ingredients

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- pink food coloring
1 cup powdered sugar (for macarons)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh raspberries for raspberry jam filling

Time Needed

Prep Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 18 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the macarons.
Powdered sugar and almond flour should be combined in a food processor.
Beat egg whites in a mixing bowl on low speed until foamy.
Combine the granulated sugar, cream of tartar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
Using a rubber spatula, fold in the dry ingredients and food coloring until the batter is smooth and glossy.
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 form a skin at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the macarons are firm enough to lift off the parchment paper.
Allow macarons to cool completely before removing from baking sheet.
Raspberry Jam Filling: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries have broken down and the sugar has dissolved.
In a small mixing bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth.
Cook until the raspberry mixture is thickened with the cornstarch mixture.
Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
To Put Together: Combine macarons of similar size.
Fill a piping bag with a small round tip with raspberry jam filling.
Pipe a small amount of jam onto one macaron's flat side.
Place the second macaron on top, flat side down.
Repeat with the remaining macarons.
Serve and have fun.
