A macaron (French pronunciation: [makaˈʁɔ̃])[1][2] is a sweet confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food coloring. The macaron is commonly filled with buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies. Its name is derived from an Italian word "maccarone" or "maccherone".
(From Wikipedia)
Not to be confused with a French Macaroon, the coconut cookie.
I used Martha's basic recipe because she uses the basic measurements. Most Macaron recipes have the ingredients measured in grams. I will be investing in a digital scale soon, but for now, Martha's recipe works very well. Martha has it as a French Macaroon, but it should be Macaron. However you pronounce it, these Macarons, when made correctly can be beautiful and DELICIOUS!
