Mini Macarons are the cutest little cookies & just as easy as my other macaron recipes! They have a vanilla shell with sprinkles, filled with vanilla French buttercream, & half the size!
STEP 1:
Sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar & set aside. Whisk egg whites & sugar over a double boiler. Remove & beat until stiff peaks form. Mix in vanilla bean paste.
STEP 2:
Sift & fold dry ingredients into meringue. Pipe out 0.75-1 inch circles onto a lined baking sheet. Rap tray on the counter & use a toothpick to remove any air bubbles.
STEP 3:
Allow cookies to rest & preheat the oven to 300F. Gently sprinkle the sprinkles on top of each cookie, bake for 7 minutes, then remove from oven & allow to cool completely.
