• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• Red food coloring
• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Two baking sheets should be lined with parchment paper.
• In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, almond flour, and cocoa powder.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are foamy.
