Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the egg whites by letting them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar in a medium bowl.
  3. Using a stand mixer, beat the egg whites until frothy, then gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites in three additions.
  5. Pipe small circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, about 1.5 inches apart.
  6. Let piped macarons rest until a skin forms, about 30-60 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 300°F and bake macarons for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Heat heavy cream until it simmers, then pour over chopped dark chocolate, mix, and add butter.
