Instructions:

Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together, set aside

In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form

Gently fold the sifted almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture

Add a few drops of green food coloring and fold until you achieve your desired color

Transfer the batter into a piping bag with a round tip and pipe dinosaur shapes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet

Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes to develop a skin

They should not stick to your finger when touched

Preheat your oven to 300F 150C

Bake the macarons for 15-18 minutes or until they have risen and have a smooth, shiny top

Cool completely on the baking sheet

Once cooled, you can decorate the macarons with royal icing to create dinosaur features if desired
