Time Needed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and powdered sugar.
Whisk the egg whites until foamy in a separate bowl.
While whisking, gradually add the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean by splitting it lengthwise.
Stir the seeds into the egg white mixture to combine.
Fold the almond flour and egg white mixture together until a smooth batter forms.
Fill a piping bag halfway with batter and pipe small rounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
To remove any air bubbles, gently tap the baking sheet on the counter.
Allow the macarons to form a skin at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes, or until they are set but not browned.
Allow to completely cool before filling and serving.
