If you are planning to make macarons, all you have to do is follow these steps. First, you would need to have the following ingredients: 3 egg whites, ¼ cup of white sugar, 1 2/3 cups of confectioner’s or powdered sugar, and 1 cup of almonds which you need to finely grind. Second, beat the eggs whites until it becomes foamy. Third, add the white sugar and continue beating until the mixture forms soft peaks. Fourth, add the confectioner or powdered sugar and the almonds and fold it into the mixture. Fifth, place the batter into a pastry bag that has a plain round trip for piping. Sixth, pipe the batter into an even disk but make sure to leave a space between each disk. Let it stand to room temperature for about one hour.
Seventh, while waiting, preheat your oven to 285 degrees Fahrenheit. Eight, bake the cookies for about 10 minutes or until set. Ninth, let the cookies cool at room temperature before you start filling.
