Instructions

Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Sift together almond flour, confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves; set aside.
Whip egg whites until foamy, gradually adding white sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in the dry ingredient mixture until combined.
Pipe small circles onto prepared baking sheets, tapping gently to remove air bubbles.
Let macarons rest for 30 minutes until they develop a skin.
Bake for about 20 minutes until firm; allow cooling before filling.
Beat softened butter with confectioners' sugar, adding molasses and vanilla until smooth.
Assemble by piping filling between similar-sized shells.
