- Start by lining your baking sheets with parchment paper and sifting the dry ingredients together. Beat the egg whites until frothy, adding granulated sugar until peaks form. Incorporate brown food coloring for a classic gingerbread look. Carefully fold in the dry mixture and pipe onto baking sheets. After a brief rest, bake the macarons until they're firm.
