- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until frothy. Gradually add granulated sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, sift almond flour and icing sugar together. Gently fold this mixture into the egg whites until smooth.
- Pipe small circles onto the prepared sheets, leaving space between each one. Tap the sheets to remove any air bubbles.

- Once cooled, fill macarons with a mixture of strawberry jam and softened butter.
