Another type of Macarons

This week I will attempt a baking recipe; something that I do not usually indulge in.  The reason?  At the Atwater Farmer's market I bought a 3 pack of "cookies" for $5 from Les Macaron Duverger and after tasting the Blueberry Lavender Macaron, I will definitely be back for more!  However, since my budget will not allow this on a weekly basis, it's worth experimenting in my own kitchen. Unlike the equally delicious treat spelled "macaroon", these are light & fluffy with a rich ganache in the middle and they don't require coconut- though I bet a coconut version would taste amazing.

Here is a link to the recipe that I am going to try: http://hicookery.wordpress.com/2011/03/20/lavender-macarons/

These are the flavors that are available from Les Macaron Duverger:
