Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
Sift together almond flour and confectioners' sugar in a medium mixing bowl.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed with an electric mixer until foamy.
Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
Mix in the red food coloring until the desired color is achieved.
Fold the almond flour mixture into the egg white mixture until it is completely combined.
Fill a piping bag with the mixture and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
Tap the baking sheet a few times on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Allow the macarons to cool for 20-30 minutes, or until a skin forms on the surface.
Bake the macarons for 18-20 minutes, or until they are set and have developed feet.
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth.
Beat in the confectioners' sugar until completely combined.
Beat in the vanilla extract and strawberry puree until smooth.
Allow the macarons to fully cool before filling with the strawberry buttercream.
