Macaroons

These delicious "sandwich's" are an amazing treat.  They have a crunchy outside but once take a bite, a spongy and sweet inside fills your mouth and makes you want to have more. These are super yummy and will definitely be enjoyed by everyone.  I know that my family, and my school friend absolutely loved them, and I have to admit that I think I've formed a slight sweet tooth for these little sandwich's.  So without any more waiting lets get into how to make this amazing treat.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of almond flour
  • 3 egg whites
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tarter
  • 7 tbsp of butter at room temperature
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 1/2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
1. To make the base sift together the powdered sugar and the flour.
2. Then in a separate bowl whisk the egg whites until they are fluffy and stiff.  While whisking add in the cream of tarter and the sugar.
3.  Once the whites are stiff and fluffy, fold in the flour mixture into the whites.  Taking this mixture put it into a piping bag, and put onto a non-stick baking sheet in little circles (try to make the circles the same size as they make up the cookies).  Once you have the circles tap the pan on the counter top to remove air bubbles then let sit for 30 minutes.
4.  Once you have waited 30minutes put the cookies into the oven at 300°F for 18-20 minutes.
5. To make the frosting mash the butter in a bowl.  
6. Over a stove top whisk together the egg yolks, then add the sugar and milk. Stir together this mixture and heat until it begins to thicken into a pudding consistency. Once it has thicken take off of the stove and let cool.
7.  Once cool mix together the egg, butter and vanilla.  If it needs to let it sit so it has a thick consistency of pudding.
8.  Now for our final step we will pipe the frosting onto one of the cookies, then put another cookie on top for your patty.  Do this with all of the following cookies until you have all of your macaroons to eat.

Enjoy
