Ingredients:

For the Macarons:

- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/4 tsp salt

For the Filling:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they become frothy. Add in the granulated sugar, cream of tartar, salt, and vanilla extract. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
