Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by sifting the powdered sugar and almond flour together twice to ensure a fine, lump-free texture.
- In a clean mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add the cream of tartar and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Once egg whites are at stiff peaks, gently fold in green gel food coloring until desired color is achieved.
- Carefully fold the sifted almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the egg whites until the batter flows like lava.
- Transfer the macaron batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip and pipe desired shapes onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Allow piped macarons to rest at room temperature for 30–60 minutes until a skin forms on their surface.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and bake rested macarons for 14–16 minutes.
- To prepare the creamy filling, beat the softened butter until creamy, then mix in powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Once shells are cooled, pipe filling onto the flat side of one shell and sandwich with another shell.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate over assembled macarons and sprinkle with holiday-themed decorations.

Notes
Macarons should be refrigerated for at least 24 hours after assembly for best flavor.
