Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan 140°C/gas 3) and line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.

In a food processor, blend the 175g icing sugar and ground almonds into a fine mixture, then sift into a bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt to soft peaks, then gradually whisk in the caster sugar until thick and glossy.

Divide the meringue into separate bowls for each desired flavor, and gently fold in desired food coloring or flavor extract, such as peppermint or lemon.

Fold half the almond and icing sugar mixture into the meringue, mix well, then fold in the remaining half until the mixture is shiny and has a thick, ribbon-like consistency.

Fill a piping bag fitted with a 1cm plain nozzle with the macaroon mixture.

Pipe small rounds, about 3cm in diameter, of the macaroon mixture onto the lined baking sheets.

Tap the baking sheets on the work surface to release any air bubbles and create a smooth 'foot'.

Allow the piped macaroons to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or until a slight skin forms.

Bake the macaroons for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and let them cool.

Meanwhile, make the filling by beating the softened butter in a bowl until light and fluffy, then beat in the 75g icing sugar.

Add the desired flavor extracts, food coloring, or nuts to the filling.

Pair the cooled macaroons and sandwich them together with the flavored filling.
