Method
Prepare the Macaron Shells
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together almond flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder.
- In another bowl, whip the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites until the batter flows like lava.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to form a skin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then let cool completely.
Make the Oreo Buttercream Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until combined.
- Add heavy cream and crushed Oreo cookies, then mix until smooth.
Assemble the Macarons
- Pair the macaron shells by size and spread or pipe the Oreo buttercream filling onto the flat side of one shell.
- Top with another shell, pressing gently to adhere.
- Refrigerate the assembled macarons for at least 24 hours to develop flavor.

Notes
Macarons are best enjoyed after resting in the fridge for a day to allow flavors to meld.
