Soft macarons with a taste of pistachios and a fragrant filling of rose buttercream. Perfectly balancing nutty and floral flavors, these French-style macarons are a sophisticated and delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups ground pistachios. 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar. 4 large egg whites. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. 1/4 teaspoon rose extract. Green food coloring optional. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar. 1-2 tablespoons rosewater. Pink food coloring optional.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 325F 163C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse together the ground pistachios and powdered sugar until finely ground. Sift the mixture into a large bowl to remove any lumps. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they start to foam. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Add almond and rose extracts and green food coloring if desired and mix until combined. Gently fold the pistachio mixture into the egg white mixture until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix; you want the batter to be thick but not runny. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small rounds about 1 inch in diameter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Tap the baking sheets on the counter to remove any air bubbles, and let the macarons sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to form a slight crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the macarons are set and have firm tops. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets. While the macarons are cooling, prepare the rose buttercream. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, rosewater, and pink food coloring if desired, and continue to beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. Once the macarons have cooled, pair them up based on size and shape. Pipe a small amount of rose buttercream onto the flat side of one macaron and sandwich it with another macaron. Repeat this process for all the macarons. Refrigerate the macarons for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve and enjoy your homemade pistachio macarons with rose buttercream! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
