The main ingredients of macarons are almond meal, sugar and egg whites. Use slightly aged egg whites. Cover the egg whites with plastic wrap and poke a few holes on the wrap. Chill in fridge for 23 days, the moisture in the egg whites will lose a little bit. Macarons made from unaged egg whites may result in cracked shells.
