- Black gel food coloring

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Gently fold dry ingredients into the meringue until smooth and glossy.
- Pipe the batter onto prepared baking sheets to form 1.5-inch circles.
- Let the macarons rest for 30 minutes before baking to develop a skin.
