These delicate almond flour macarons filled with rich dulce de leche are my absolute favorite treat to whip up when I want something fancy without spending hours in the kitchen. The whole process takes less than an hour from start to finish, which is honestly a game changer for impressing guests. What I love most is that almond flour is packed with heart healthy monounsaturated fats and protein, making these indulgent little cookies feel just a bit more virtuous. The simple ingredient list won't break the bank either, and once you nail the technique once or twice, you'll be making batches constantly.

Tip: Sifting helps to aerate the ingredients.

In a separate large bowl, whip the egg whites and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.

Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.

Tap the baking sheet again after each piped circle to remove air bubbles.

Bake for 15 minutes, then let cool completely.
