My FIRST macarons – advice is very welcome🫠

I'm pretty new here, so hello to everyone!

I followed the recipe from the preppy kitchen website and made my first macarons! I tried to follow every step exactly, being constantly aware of my every move. I read about the possible mistakes and troubleshooting, so I know more or less what the macarons should look like… But obviously I need direction.

First of all, I see two big red flags. Firstly, they are brown but I suppose I know what the problem is. I didn't check exactly the temperature cause I didn't have a proper oven thermometer. Secondly, no foot – and I sincerely do not have any idea what I did wrong in the process. Among other imperfections, there is probably a problem with smooth top, as u see above.

I also noticed the inconsistency related with resting time. It was said that it should rest for about 20-40 mins (sometimes longer) to get that specific top but it took me 2 hours! Idk if it is good or not, I'm a bit confused tbh. The weather was a little humid but does it have such an impact?? I put the macarons in a seemingly dry place, too.

After all, I'm pretty happy cause it's my very first try and at least I didn't get an empty inside (or it didn't explode when I was breathing too loudly). They were very yummy, at least. Only if there were more of them at once 🥲

Are there any more experienced macaron-makers who are willing to take a look at this case?🥹🥹

P.S. On one photo there are baked macarons on one side and on the other side – the macarons before baking.
