Ingredients

For Pumpkin Spice Macaron Shells:

1 ⅔ cup (200 grams) powdered sugar
1 cup (110 grams) almond flour
1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice
3 large (100 grams) egg whites
¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar

For Pumpkin Spice Buttercream:

4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter softened
1 cup (113 grams) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk

Notes

If possible, make your macarons on a less humid day. You will need to rest the macarons for longer and they might not turn out as well on a humid day.

Don’t over mix the batter. You only need to macaronage until you can make a figure 8 with the batter. If you over mix the macarons will spread too much.

Wipe the bowl down with vinegar before adding the egg whites to whip. Even a speck of leftover dish soap or fat (egg yolk, butter, etc.) will inhibit the egg whites from whipping up properly.

Let the macarons rest before eating. Macarons are best when they have matured for 12 or so hours. So after you fill the macarons, let them rest overnight for the best flavor.
