Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together almond flour and powdered sugar until combined, sifting to remove lumps.

- Gently fold in raspberry puree and rose water into the meringue mixture, adding food coloring if desired.
- Transfer batter to a piping bag and pipe small circles onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
- Let piped macarons rest for about 30 minutes until they form a dry skin.
- Bake one tray at a time for 15-20 minutes until firm; cool completely before removing from sheets.
- For the filling, beat softened butter until creamy; gradually mix in powdered sugar, raspberry puree, and rose water until smooth.
- Pair similar-sized shells, pipe filling onto one half, and gently sandwich them together.
