The Joy of Macaroons, Any ideas on how to make this better?

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour, finely ground
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2 egg whites, room temperature
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Food coloring (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor, combine the almond flour, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar. Pulse until the mixture is finely ground.
3. In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add the almond extract and vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. If desired, add food coloring and mix until the desired color is achieved.
6. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe 1-inch circles onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Let the macaroons rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, or until the tops are dry to the touch.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the macaroons are set and the tops are light golden brown.
9. Let the macaroons cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Making Better Macaroons

• Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the macaroons will be.
• Grind the almond flour very finely. This will help the macaroons have a smooth texture.
• Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help the macaroons rise and have a light and airy texture.
• Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the macaroons tough.
• Let the macaroons rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking. This will help the tops of the macaroons develop a skin, which will prevent them from cracking in the oven.
• Bake the macaroons at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the macaroons will burn. If the oven is too cold, the macaroons will not rise properly.
• Let the macaroons cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the macaroons soggy.
