Makes ~60-80, depending on the size you make them.

- Ingredients
   + 5-6 egg whites
       * Note: The size of the eggs is fairly important here. If you
         use too much egg white, the macaroons will become very flat
         when baking them.
   + 500g sugar
   + 500g ground hazelnuts
   + Whole hazelnuts (one for each macaroon)
- Instructions
   + Beat egg whites until stiff.
   + Stir in sugar.
   + Stir in ground hazelnuts.

   + Form small heaps on a tray using two teaspoons, then add a
     whole hazelnut on each heap. Make sure to press the hazelnut
     hard enough that it doesn't fall out later.
