I’m so upset. I thought this batch was actually going to be a success but no. The mixture looked nearly perfect but they’ve expanded/spread so much?! The feet are awfully uneven and they’ve gone brown (they’re supposed to be pink)

[here’s the recipe I used](https://www.homecookingadventure.com/raspberry-macarons-italian-meringue/#recipe)
The macarons on the bottom tray have cracked as well ☹️
Going brown is prob bc your temp is too high, you can also try covering them after a bit in the oven with tinfoil, or putting a tray on a rack above them, so the heat isn’t as much. Idk why they said ground almonds but if you didn’t use almond flour then that might also be an issue. Feet spreading like that is probably also your oven temp too high, but may also have to do with how you whipped the eggs.
im also a beginner in this, this is just what ive heard and experienced. The fruit powder makes the cookie brown more, because of the sugar content. So it’s hard to get the right color with raspberry macarons. Ive heard some people just put food color in the cookie and make the raspberry flavour in the filling.
I remember getting cookies exactly like this when i tried turning up the temp on my oven. So maybe turn it down, honestly maybe by 20-30F?
