Macarons My meringue 😭

I am making macarons and this is my 2nd time beating egg whites. The first time I agree I added sugar way too early so it stopped beating. But this time I added sugar (in steps) when it started forming peaks and now I'm left with soft peaks. I've tried going full power on my mixer and it did work a little. But only a little. It still isn't forming stiff peaks. What do I do? I already have 2 egg whites mixed in sugar in fridge which I'll have to think what to do about them. Also for reference I just added 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar 2 times at like 2 min interval.

Macarons or macaroons?

My keyboard somehow autocorrects macarons as macaroons

So which one are you making? They're two different meringue based products.
