Steps:
- Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add ⅓ of the granulated sugar and with mixer on high, continue to beat until egg whites are stiff peaks. Add another ⅓ of the sugar and beat again until egg whites are back to stiff peaks. Repeat with last ⅓ of sugar, beating until whites are shiny and fluffy.
- Using a fine mesh strainer, sift together the almond flour, confectioners sugar, and espresso powder into the bowl with the egg whites. Discard any large pieces that remain in the strainer.
- With a rubber scraper, fold the mixture into the egg whites, about 35-45 strokes, or until the batter falls on itself but a slight peak remains (Do not overmix or batter will be too thin and runny).
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe batter onto prepared baking tray into 1 ½ inch (4 cm) disks.
- Lift and drop the baking tray onto a hard surface 2-3 times to smooth out the batter and knock out any air bubbles. Allow cookies to rest at room temperature for one hour, until a skin forms on the surface of the cookies.
- Preheat oven to 285˚F (140˚C)
- To make the filling, beat the butter, confectioners sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Set aside.
- After about one hour, gently brush the top a cookie with your finger to check that a skin has formed. The batter should not stick to your finger, if it does, allow to set for an additional 15 minutes.
- Bake cookies in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cookies peel away from the parchment when lifted.
- Allow the cookie shells to cool completely.
- Pipe the buttercream frosting onto the bottom side of a cooled shell and sandwich together with a similarly sized cookie.
- Dust with optional cocoa powder and serve. *Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE MACARONS RECIPE BY TASTY
It's never a bad time for dessert. Cookies, cake, pie, you name it! But sometimes you need to change it up with something a little fancier: enter macarons. They may seem intimidating but with our easy-to-follow guide, they don't have to be. And you can customize them! Want a variety? Use different types of food coloring. Prefer a different flavored icing? Add some lavender extract for a floral feel. One bite, and you'll feel like you're in Paris yourself.

Steps:
- Make the macarons: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the powdered sugar, almond flour, and ½ teaspoon of salt, and process on low speed, until extra fine. Sift the almond flour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the egg whites and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar until fully incorporated. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form (you should be able to turn the bowl upside down without anything falling out).
- Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add the food coloring and beat until just combined.
- Add about ⅓ of the sifted almond flour mixture at a time to the beaten egg whites and use a spatula to gently fold until combined. After the last addition of almond flour, continue to fold slowly until the batter falls into ribbons and you can make a figure 8 while holding the spatula up.
- Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
- Place 4 dots of the batter in each corner of a rimmed baking sheet, and place a piece of parchment paper over it, using the batter to help adhere the parchment to the baking sheet.
- Pipe the macarons onto the parchment paper in 1½-inch (3-cm) circles, spacing at least 1-inch (2-cm) apart.
- Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface 5 times to release any air bubbles.
- Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until dry to the touch.
- Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C).
- Bake the macarons for 17 minutes, until the feet are well-risen and the macarons don't stick to the parchment paper.
- Transfer the macarons to a wire rack to cool completely before filling.
- Make the buttercream: In a large bowl, add the butter and beat with a mixer for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Sift in the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat to combine. Add the cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat to combine, until desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
- Add a dollop of buttercream to one macaron shell. Top it with another macaron shell to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining macaron shells and buttercream.
- Place in an airtight container for 24 hours to "bloom".
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Keep beating and slowly add the sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Sift the powdered sugar and almond flour over the egg whites. Fold the dry mixture into the egg whites, giving the bowl a quarter turn every third fold. Once the batter reaches a lava-like consistency, transfer half to another bowl and add the food coloring. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
- Working quickly, put the white and pink batters into separate small zip-top bags. Cut a corner off of each bag and squeeze the 2 batters evenly into a larger gallon-size bag or piping bag to create a multicolor effect.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Tip: use a little batter to "glue" down the edges of the parchment paper so it stays put). In a circular motion, pipe 1½-inch (4-cm) dollops onto the baking sheet. Lift the baking sheet and gently tap on the counter to settle the batter. Let the cookies rest for 1 hour, until they are no longer wet to the touch and a skin forms on top.
- Preheat the oven to 285ºF (140ºC).
- Make the filling by mixing the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk in a medium bowl until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag and set aside until ready to fill the cookies.
- When the cookies are dry to the touch, bake for 13-15 minutes, until they have risen. Let them cool for 10 minutes. To fill, pipe a circle of the cream cheese mixture around the edge of 1 cookie and place a small dollop of jam in the center. Sandwich with another cookie. Macarons are best kept refrigerated until serving.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, pure vanilla extract, and finely ground almond flour.
- Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the egg whites, as too much or too little can affect the texture of the macarons.
- When mixing the egg whites, be sure to beat them until they are stiff peaks. This will help the macarons rise properly in the oven.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the macarons tough.
- When piping the batter onto the baking sheet, be sure to space the macarons out evenly. This will help them bake evenly.
- Before baking, let the macarons rest for at least 30 minutes. This will help them develop a skin, which will prevent them from cracking in the oven.
- Bake the macarons in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly.
- Keep an eye on the macarons while they are baking. They should be baked until they are set but still slightly soft in the center.
- Let the macarons cool completely before filling them. This will help them hold their shape.
- For the macchiato filling, be sure to use cold coffee. This will help the filling set properly.
- To make the macchiato filling even more flavorful, you can add a teaspoon of coffee extract.
Conclusion:
Macchiato macarons are a delicious and elegant treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a delicate almond meringue shell and a creamy macchiato filling. With a little care and attention, you can easily make these macarons at home. Be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your macarons turn out perfectly.
