Instructions

Line two baking trays with parchment paper OR silicone baking mats. Set aside for later.
Combine the powdered sugar and almond flour together in a shifter. Shift two times, discarding any large almond pieces.
Place the egg whites into a mixing bowl and whisk until foamy. Add the sugar and salt. Continue to mix until stiff peaks begin to form.
Add the almond flour mixture into the same bowl as the whipped egg whites. Use a spatula to stir exactly 65 times by hand.
Carefully transfer the batter into a piping bag. Pipe 1 inch rounds onto the prepared baking trays. Tap each tray on the counter 4 to 5 times to remove any air bubbles.
Let the cookies sit for 30 minutes, or until the surface of the cookie is dry and no longer tacky.
While the cookies are resting, prepare the frosting.
Whip the butter until light and fluffy. Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla until combined.
Add the marshmallow fluff and mix until incorporated, being sure to scrape the sides of the bowl.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and bake the cookies for 20 minutes. Remove from the baking tray and allow them to cool completely before filling.
While the cookies cool, heat the heavy cream until just simmering.
Place the chocolate into a glass bowl. Pour the cream over the chocolate and allow it to sit for 5 minutes.
Stir until smooth and allow to slightly set slightly, about 5-10 minutes.
Match the macaron cookies with fitting sized partners.
Spread the marshmallow frosting on one side. Dab a bit of chocolate ganache on the other.
Gently press together and serve.
