Ingredients

• • 2 ⅞ cups almond flour
• • 1 ⅞ cup powdered sugar
• • 3 ⅞ large egg whites
• • ⅞ tsp baking powder
• • ⅞ tsp salt
• • ⅞ cup granulated sugar
• • 1 ⅞ tsp vanilla extract
• • 1 ⅞ cup heavy cream

• • 1 ⅞ tbsp pink gel food coloring

Instructions

1. 1

   Sift almond flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Set aside.

2. 2

   Using an electric mixer, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.

3. 3

   Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites in three batches until smooth. Add pink gel food coloring and mix until evenly colored.

4. 4

   Transfer batter to a piping bag. Pipe 1-inch rounds onto baking sheets. Tap sheets firmly on a counter to remove air bubbles. Let rest 30 minutes, then bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15-18 minutes.

5. 5

   Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Chill until ready to use.

6. 6

   Pipe a dollop of whipped cream onto half the macarons. Top with a marshmallow, then the remaining macaron shell. Use white chocolate chips to create snowman faces and add sprinkles.
