Celebrate the New Year with these colorful confetti macarons. These delicate French cookies are filled with fun sprinkles and a sweet vanilla buttercream for a festive treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour: finely ground
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar: sifted
  • 3 large egg whites: at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter: softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar: for buttercream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract: for buttercream
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream: for buttercream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla, then beat until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture. Add the sprinkles and fold until just combined.
  5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe 1-inch circles onto the baking sheets. Tap the sheets to release air bubbles.
  6. Let the macarons rest for 30 minutes until a skin forms. Bake for 15-18 minutes, then cool completely.
  7. For the buttercream, beat the butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Beat until light and fluffy.
  8. Pipe the buttercream onto half the macarons and sandwich with the remaining halves.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring if you want vibrant macaron shells.
  • Letting the macarons rest before baking prevents cracking.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
