Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). 2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 3. In a bowl, sift together the almond flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. 4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. 5. Gradually add in the granulated sugar while continuing to beat the egg whites until they are glossy and hold stiff peaks. 6. Gently fold the almond flour mixture into the egg whites, a little bit at a time. 7. Continue to fold until the mixture is smooth and shiny. 8. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. 9. Pipe the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, making small circles about 1 inch in diameter. 10.

Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a bowl. 16. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it starts to simmer. 17. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a minute. 18. Add the softened butter to the bowl and stir until the mixture is smooth. 19. Let the filling cool to room temperature. 20. Once the macarons are cool, carefully remove them from the parchment paper. 21.
