- Whip egg whites in a clean bowl until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and cream of tartar, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in green gel food coloring until desired hue is achieved.
- Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg whites until the batter flows thickly.
- Pipe macaron batter onto parchment-lined sheets, shaping into trees or circles.
- Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 14 to 16 minutes, rotating halfway through.
- Let macarons cool on sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Sift ingredients properly and use room temperature egg whites for best results. Allow macarons to form a skin before baking to avoid cracks.
