MACARONS
Macaron is the French word for macaroon, but are never the coconut-based cookie. Macarons are one of the most amazing pastries, with hundreds of flavors and fillings. Macarons are made from almond flour and meringue, with even the pros claiming to failure on a regular basis. After going through dozens of recipes and trials, this is the most reliable macaron recipe I could come up with. You could get lighter using the Italian meringue method, but it's less dependable.

Steps:
- Place egg whites into a metal mixing bowl and refrigerate overnight. The next day, bring egg whites to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 280 degrees F (138 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk confectioners' sugar and almond flour in a bowl. Beat the egg whites with salt in metal bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute; increase speed to high and gradually beat in superfine sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until the egg whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks, 3 to 5 more minutes.
- Gently fold almond flour mixture into whipped egg whites until thoroughly incorporated; spoon meringue into a pastry big fitted with a 3/8-inch tip.
- Pipe 1-inch disks of meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between cookies. The batter will spread. Lift the baking sheets a few inches above the work surface and hit them lightly on the work surface several times to remove any air bubbles from the cookies. Let the cookies stand at room temperature until the shiny surfaces become dull and a thin skin forms, about 15 minutes.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake with the oven door open slightly until the macarons' surfaces are completely dry, about 15 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on a baking sheet before peeling parchment paper from the cookies.
- Spread half the cookies with any desired filling, top with remaining cookies to make sandwiches, and refrigerate at least 2 hours to overnight to let the cookies soften.

Tips:
- Using a kitchen scale to measure ingredients ensures accuracy and consistency in your macaroons.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before whipping them. This will help them reach their full potential volume and create stiff peaks.
- When folding the dry ingredients into the meringue, do so gently and carefully. Overmixing can deflate the meringue and result in flat macaroons.
- Pipe the macaroons onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent them from sticking and make them easy to remove.
- Let the macaroons rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking. This will help them develop a skin, which will prevent them from cracking in the oven.
- Bake the macaroons at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help them dry out and develop their characteristic chewy texture.
- Let the macaroons cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from seeping out.
