Handle with care! These macaroons are so delicious, they might just cast a spell on you. Be prepared to become addicted to their minty deliciousness.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of almond flour, 2 cups of powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat 4 egg whites on medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually add in 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Add a few drops of green food coloring and 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the egg white mixture. Gently fold in the almond flour mixture until fully incorporated. Be sure not to overmix – you want the batter to be thick and glossy.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Tap the baking sheet firmly on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Let the macaroons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or until a skin forms on the surface. This will help them develop their signature feet during baking.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macaroons for 15-18 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of softened butter, 1 tablespoon of milk, and a few drops of green food coloring. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Spread a small amount of frosting onto the bottom of one macaroon, then sandwich it with another macaroon of a similar size. Repeat until all the macaroons are paired up. Feel free to sprinkle some edible glitter for an extra magical touch!
Store the macaroons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving, so you can fully enjoy their irresistible minty flavor and enchanting texture.
