Instructions

Combine almond flour, confectioners' sugar, and spices in a bowl; sift to remove lumps.
In another bowl, whip egg whites until frothy; gradually add white sugar until stiff peaks form.
Fold dry ingredients into egg whites gently to form a smooth batter.
Pipe small circles on parchment-lined baking sheets; let rest for 30 minutes.
Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 15-20 minutes until shells lift easily.
For the filling, beat softened butter and confectioners' sugar; add melted chocolate, molasses, and vanilla until fluffy.
Pair cooled macaron shells with filling and enjoy!
