Macaron (Macaroon)
My take on this French classic. An exceptionally light and crispy cross between a biscuit and a meringue, with a slightly gooey center. A huge family favorite!

Cook's Notes:
This is such an easy recipe and always goes down extremely well to pretty much every audience. To mix it up a bit you can put a teaspoon of flavoring in with the sugar; peppermint works extremely well, as do lemon and almond. Try drizzling some melted chocolate over the top or just leave plain. Also works well as a pudding stacked with layers of whipped cream and raspberries!
If you want to garnish with flaked almonds, allow dough to set for 15 minutes prior to placing the almonds on top; this will prevent the almonds from sinking. When making for the kids, I skip this step as it makes it much quicker.
