Whip Egg Whites
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

Combine Mixtures
Gently fold the dry mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should flow slowly off the spatula.

Add Food Coloring
Divide the batter into separate bowls for different colors. Add food coloring to each bowl and mix until the desired color is achieved.

Pipe the Macarons
Transfer the batter into piping bags and pipe small circles onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Tap the baking sheets on the counter to release air bubbles.

Rest the Macarons
Let the piped macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes until a skin forms on the surface.

Bake
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the macarons for 15-20 minutes, until they have risen and developed feet.

Cool
Allow the macarons to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them.
