Using two teaspoons, place small mounds spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Wet a pastry brush or your fingertips with water and shape each mound into a pyramid. Bake the macarons in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes; they should only lightly brown, covering them with parchment or foil if necessary. Remove and cool.
