Title: Macaron (French Macaroon)
Categories: Five, Cookies, Snacks, Desserts, Nuts
Yield: 8 Servings

3 lg Egg whites
1/4 c White sugar
1 2/3 c Confectioners' sugar
1 c Fine ground almonds

Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.

Beat egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk
attachment until whites are foamy; beat in white sugar and continue
beating until egg whites are glossy, fluffy, and hold soft peaks.
Sift confectioners' sugar and ground almonds in a separate bowl and
quickly fold the almond mixture into the egg whites, about
30 strokes.

Spoon a small amount of batter into a plastic bag with a small
corner cut off and pipe a test disk of batter, about 1-1/2" in
diameter, onto prepared baking sheet. If the disk of batter holds a
peak instead of flattening immediately, gently fold the batter a
few more times and retest.

When batter is mixed enough to flatten immediately into an even
disk, spoon into a pastry bag fitted with a plain round tip. Pipe
the batter onto the baking sheet in rounds, leaving space between
the disks. Let the piped cookies stand out at room temperature
until they form a hard skin on top, about 1 hour.

Set oven @ 285?F/140?C.

Bake cookies until set but not browned, about 10 minutes; let
cookies cool completely before filling.
