I can only wish you luck in this endeavor. I’ve never been able to make them work!

King Arthur Flour has almond flour, it’s not cheap but using it was the only time I was able to make them. Trader Joe’s has almond meal (the brown skin remains) and they also turned out fine, but a little woodsy. I did try the food processing of almonds and it turned out horrible.
I used Martha’s recipe for macaroons, using 1 1/4 cup of the almond flour. Don’t over combine the two mixtures.

I have never made the macarons myself, although I do plan on it and have done some research on the subject. A good place to start for recipe/technique would be with David Lebovitz

Also check out this interview with Dorie Greenspan

I made Martha’s http://seenandsaid.blogspot.com/2008/01/recipe-of-week_26.html
I recommend adding food colour and switching up the flavours, but texture and taste-wise they were incredible!

Oooh, I’ve always had the impression these were difficult to make. Hope it all turns out well!

…Or you could just have Laduree send them to your home weekly (like Madonna and Gwyneth!).
Macarons are just that good.
In France, March 20th is declared as Macaron Day- so get baking, Jordan!
