Nutella Macarons: A Delicious French Dessert
Nutella Macarons are a delightful French dessert that combines the rich, chocolatey flavor of Nutella with the light, airy texture of macarons. These sweet treats are perfect for any occasion, from a fancy dinner party to a casual afternoon snack.

Ingredients (makes 12 macarons):

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup Nutella

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 medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and almond flour.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, then add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
4. Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites, beating until stiff peaks form.
5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture until just combined.
6. Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
7. Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to form a skin.
8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the macarons are set but not browned.
9. Let the macarons cool completely before filling with Nutella.
