Ingredients
  

For the Macaron Shells:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 large egg whites at room temperature
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • dash Vanilla extract

Decoration:

  • White chocolate
  • Candy eye balls

Instructions
 

Shell Directions:

  • Stir almond flour and powdered sugar together in a bowl.
  • In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they become foamy.
  • Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to whip.
  • Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. (You should be able to hold the bowl upside down without the meringue falling out.)
  • Use a spatula to gently fold the dry mixture into the whipped egg whites.
  • Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small circles (about 1-1.5 inches in diameter) onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them evenly.
  • Leave the piped macarons to rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or until a slight crust forms on the surface.
  • Preheat your oven to 300°F
  • Bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes, or until they have developed feet and the shells are firm but not browned. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through for even baking.
  • Allow the macarons to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Filling Directions:

  • Whip together the softened butter, powdered sugar and vanilla.
  • Pair up the cooled macaron shells by size and shape.
  • Pipe or spoon a small amount of filling onto one shell and gently press the other shell on top to create a sandwich.

Decorate:

  • Melt your white chocolate and drizzle over the macarons.
  • Add two candy eyeballs on top, using the chocolate as 'glue'.

Notes

Serve them immediately or refrigerate them for a day or two to allow the flavors to meld together.
