Macarons
Not to be confused with macaroons. I don't think I've ever had these things but they are the rage on all the food blogs. Looks like a coookie sandwich to me (or maybe an Oreo cakester), but I guess they're French and thus, tres hard. The cookie part is entirely ground almonds and my arch-nemesis: egg whites -- mon dieu!
This picture is of chocolate macarons with Nutella whipped creme. I also love these pink macarons with chocolate peanut butter filling-- and they're Gossip Girl-inspired (though the blogger mostly bashes GG, for shame!) And I guess this is the go-to site for all macaron novices.
Since my baking talents are somewhat limited by an inability to read the recipe all the way through, a faulty mixer, and a general lack of precision in measuring, these may be my final triumph in life. But, by god, they will be attempted!
