Coffee Toffee Macarons

Coffee Toffee Macarons - A Delicious French Dessert
Coffee Toffee Macarons are a delightful French dessert that combines the rich flavors of coffee and toffee in a delicate, airy cookie. These macarons are perfect for any occasion, whether it's a special event or just a sweet treat for yourself.

Ingredients (makes 12 macarons):

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp instant coffee powder
- 1/4 cup toffee bits

Cooking Tips:

- Use room temperature egg whites for best results.
- Sift the powdered sugar and almond flour together to ensure a smooth texture.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can cause the macarons to spread too much.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and almond flour.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the granulated sugar and cream of tartar, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
4. Fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture, along with the instant coffee powder and toffee bits.
5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Tap the baking sheet on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the macarons are set and have formed a "foot" around the edges.
8. Allow the macarons to cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.
