Macarons

I think someone at work gave me this recipe - it's written on the back of an envelope.

71 g Skinless Sliced Almnods
53 g granulated sugar
117 g powdered sugar
2 eggs, divided


Chop almonds, then add powdered sugar and grind.  Sift and regrind as necessary (so all goes through  sieve).  Mix eggs and sugar together, then whip in a stand mixer on level 4 for 2 minutes, then level 6 on 2 minutes then level 8 for 2 minutes.

Add any flavoring and colors, then pipe into circles on a baking sheet.

Bake in 325 degree oven for 10 minutes until cookies are crisp.
