Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a double boiler, combine fresh egg whites and granulated sugar. Whisk for about 1-1.5 minutes until frothy.
- Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer and whisk on high until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
- Sift together almond flour, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar into a bowl, then gently fold into the meringue.
- Transfer the macaron batter into a pastry bag and pipe quarter-sized circles onto the baking sheets.
- Bake for approximately 13 minutes, rotating trays halfway through, until crisp outside and soft inside.
- While baking, mix peanut butter and butter until smooth. Add sifted powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until creamy.
- Once shells are cool, pipe the filling onto half of the shells and sandwich with the remaining shells.
