  3. Whip egg whites in a separate bowl until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the dry mixture into the whipped egg whites until just incorporated.
  5. Pipe small circles onto prepared baking sheets and tap to release air bubbles.
  6. Let macarons rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes until a skin forms.
