In the mixing bowl, sift together almond flour and powdered sugar. Set aside.
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add room-temperature egg whites and start whisking on low speed. Start adding sugar one tablespoon at a time.
Increase speed to medium-high and whip until glossy and medium peaks. This will take 10-15 minutes.
Add dry ingredients to the meringue and start folding in the butter. The batter is ready when you can make a figure 8 with a spatula, or it flows “like lava”.
Transfer macaronage into a pastry bag with a round tip.
Pipe macaron shells on the baking mat.
Let the shells rest on the countertop until no batter sticks to your finger when you touch it.
Bake macaron shells in the preheated oven to 275°F (134°C) -300°F (150^oC) for 12-14 minutes. Oven temperature and baking time may vary, depending on your oven.
Remove baked macaron shells from the oven and let them cool on the baking mat with a baking sheet pan. When shells are cooled, completely remove them from the baking mat and pair them with similar sizes.

In the mixing bowl, beat unsalted butter for a few seconds.
Add powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth.
Add pumpkin spice powder and salt. Mix the buttercream again until well combined.
Add milk or heavy cream as needed to thin the buttercream.
Transfer buttercream into a piping bag with a Wilton 12 piping tip.

When you are ready to fill macarons, match each macaron shell with another shell of similar size and shape.
Pipe the buttercream into the center of one macaron shell and top with the other shell. For the stem of these macarons, I used almonds.
