1

Prepare the Macaroon Shell

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour with 1.5 cups of powdered sugar. Sift the mixture twice to ensure a smooth texture. In a separate bowl, beat 2 egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat. Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the whipped egg whites until fully incorporated.

2

Pipe and Bake

Transfer the macaroon batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small, even rounds of batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface to release any air bubbles. Let the macaroons rest for about 30 minutes to form a dry skin on the surface. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macaroons for 12-15 minutes until they are set and firm. Allow them to cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.

3

Make the Mint Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat together 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar until creamy. Add 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring for a minty hue. Beat until well combined and smooth.

4

Assemble and Decorate

Pair up the cooled macaroon shells of similar sizes. Spread a generous dollop of mint filling on the flat side of one shell and sandwich it with another shell. Repeat with the remaining shells. For a stunning finishing touch, sprinkle some edible gold dust on top of the macaroons.
