Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare Macaron Shells

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together into a bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
Add black food coloring if desired.
Gently fold almond-sugar mixture into egg whites until smooth and glossy (“macaronage” consistency).
Transfer batter to a piping bag and pipe 1.5-inch circles onto baking sheets. Tap sheets gently to release air bubbles.
Let shells rest 30–60 minutes until a skin forms.

Step 2: Bake Shells

Bake 15–18 minutes, rotating halfway.
Cool completely on baking sheet.

Step 3: Make Filling

Beat butter until creamy.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mix until smooth.
Incorporate raspberry jam or Biscoff spread until well blended.

Step 4: Assemble Macarons

Pipe filling onto the flat side of half the shells.
Sandwich with remaining shells.
Pipe melted chocolate to create 8 spider legs on each side of the macaron.
Add candy eyes on top for a spooky effect.

Notes

Shelf-stable option: Use buttercream with stabilizers to keep macarons fresh at room temperature for several days.
Mini version: Make smaller macarons for bite-sized party treats.
Flavor swaps: Try blackberry lavender macarons or classic vanilla macarons from Pies and Tacos for variety.
