Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Two baking sheets should be lined with parchment paper.
Sift together almond flour and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl.
Separately, whisk together the egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy.
Gradually beat in the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
Mix in the food coloring until well combined.
In two additions, fold in the almond flour mixture until the batter is smooth and shiny.
Fill a piping bag with a round tip with the batter.
On prepared baking sheets, pipe batter into small circles.
Gently tap baking sheets on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Allow macarons to rest for 30 minutes to form a skin.
Macarons should be baked for 18-20 minutes, or until firm and dry to the touch.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
Whisk together strawberry jam, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl.
Spread filling onto one macaron's flat side and sandwich with another.
Continue with the remaining macarons and filling.
Serve and have fun.
