Macarons

1. 1

   Put the egg whites in a metal mixing bowl and refrigerate overnight. The next day, let the egg whites come to room temperature.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 280 degrees F (138 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Whisk the confectioners' sugar and almond flour together in a bowl.

4. 4

   Beat the egg whites with the salt in a metal bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase to high speed and gradually beat in the superfine sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until the egg whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks, 3 to 5 more minutes.

5. 5

   Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the whipped egg whites until fully combined; transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch tip. Pipe 1-inch rounds of meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between macarons. The batter will spread.

6. 6

   Lift the baking sheets a few inches above the work surface and tap them lightly on the work surface several times to release any air bubbles from the macarons; let stand at room temperature until the shiny surfaces turn dull and a thin skin forms, about 25 to 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake until the macaron surfaces are completely dry, about 19 to 20 minutes. Let the macarons cool completely on the baking sheets before peeling off the parchment paper.

8. 8

   Spread the desired filling on half of the macaron cookies; top with the remaining macarons to make sandwich cookies, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to overnight to let them soften.
