     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 @ 285ºF/140ºC.

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