Macaroon Ingredients

  • 1 cup Almond flour
  • 1 ¾ cup Powdered sugar
  • 3 large Egg whites at room temperature
  • ¼ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar. Set aside.
