I didn't want to find a new recipe, cause I've made this one in the past and it worked well enough. I wanted to try and finally make some macarons other than these chocolate ones. According to chatgpt I should just add more almond flour or powdered sugar to make up for the cocoa powder, but I am worried that that will mess them up somehow. Does anyone has any ideas or experience with this?

well the first question is how you get the vanilla flavor in there. You need a dry to way to do it. Are you gonna use vanilla bean pods?
Take out the cocoa powder and add same amount of almond flour as powdered sugar. Most macaron recipe is 1:1 egg white to sugar and 1:1 almond flour to icing sugar
Now the ratio of powder to meringue, I had made beautiful macarons from weight of egg white x1.5 x2 or x1.33 for weight of almond flour/icing sugar.
If you have a strong meringue, your recipe ratio isn’t going to mess up your macaron.
But if you want some tried and true recipe to consider you can get them from these cookbooks: Mastering Macaron or Macaron School. They offer free kindle sample.
