Making Macarons
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Sift almond flour, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar together.
Whip egg whites until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites.
Pipe small rounds onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space in between.
Let the piped macarons rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until shells feel firm, then cool on sheets.
Beat together peanut butter and softened butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar.
Pair up cooled macaron shells and sandwich them with peanut butter filling.
Optional: Dust with cocoa powder for added elegance.
