- Pipe the batter onto the prepared baking sheets in small circles.
- Let them rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature to form a skin.

Assembly

- Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on the marshmallow and sandwich the macaron shells together.
Notes
To keep your macarons fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can stay good for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Just make sure to separate the layers with parchment paper to avoid sticking. Ensure your mixing bowls and tools are clean and free from grease before whipping the egg whites. Be patient while letting the macarons rest; this helps create the beautiful foot on the macarons. Experiment with food coloring to add a fun twist.
