Steps

Heat the oven to 300 F and line two baking sheets.
Sift the icing sugar and almond flour into a bowl.
Beat the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add the superfine sugar and beat until firm, glossy peaks form.
Fold the dry mixture and food coloring into the egg whites until the batter flows slowly from the spatula.
Pipe small rounds onto the baking sheets and let them rest for 20 minutes.
