Preparation
- Make the macarons: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the powdered sugar, almond flour, and ½ teaspoon salt. Process on low speed until extra-fine. Sift the almond flour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the egg whites and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until fully incorporated. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. You should be able to turn the bowl upside down without anything falling out.
- Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add the white food coloring and beat until just combined.
- Add about ⅓ of the sifted almond flour mixture at a time to the beaten egg whites and use a spatula to gently fold until combined. After the last addition of almond flour, continue to fold slowly until the batter falls into ribbons and you can make a figure 8 while holding the spatula up.
- Transfer the macaron batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
- Pipe 4 small dots of batter in each corner of a rimmed baking sheet, and place a piece of parchment paper over it, using the batter to help adhere the parchment to the baking sheet.
- Pipe the batter onto the baking sheet in Mickey Mouse shapes (1 medium circle and 2 small circles), spacing at least 1 inch (2 cm) apart.
- Tap the baking sheet on the counter 5 times to release any air bubbles.
- Let the macarons sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until dry to the touch.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Bake the macarons for 15–17 minutes, until the feet are well-risen and the macarons don’t stick to the parchment paper. Transfer the macarons to a wire rack to cool completely before filling.
- Make the filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the frosting and crushed cookies until well combined. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Set aside.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the macaron shells in a criss-cross motion to look like a mummy. Add 2 candy eyes to half of the macarons. Let sit until the chocolate sets, 5–10 minutes.
- Pipe the filling onto the flat side of a macaron shell without eyes, then top it with another macaron shell with eyes to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining macaron shells and filling.
- Enjoy!
