With space between each, pipe tiny circles onto the baking sheet that has been prepared. To release air bubbles, tap the baking sheet a few times on the counter.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the macarons are firm to the touch and have risen in the center of the oven. Leave them on the baking sheet to cool completely. After they have cooled, match the macarons according to size and top one half with your preferred filling. Place between two more macaron halves. Before eating, keep the macarons in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours in an airtight container. This enables the flavors to combine. Present and savor your mouthwatering macarons!
